Giant monsters, local craftsmanship, and colorful folk costumes were on full display in Mexico City for the 17th edition of the Alebrijes Parade. The fantastical parade originated from a fever dream, but has now become a staple of the Mexican cultural calendar. The event kicks off ‘El Dia de los Muertos’ season of festivities in Mexico.
