The Central Avenue Betterment Association (CABA) had the avenue abuzz all day and into the evening with the Día de los Muertos celebration. Crowds descended for food, music and activities with a Mexican flavor. 

The event included a car show, live music from several stages, food trucks and vendors, crafts and apparel vendors, ending in a parade as evening fell.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday of remembrance for departed loved ones, recognized in Mexico on Nov. 1. In the United States, it’s also become a celebration of Mexican heritage.
