Misael Urzuasa puts on the last details of the chinelo suit, a tradition of the state of Morelos that its inhabitants used to make fun of the Spanish who dominated the towns in Mexico.
Along with 100 other people, Urzuasa participated in the 48th edition of the Halloween Parade to represent Mexican culture despite being an event that highlights the American tradition.
“We are proud, especially because my children are here. It is a tradition that we follow, Chileans teach part of the culture of our people,” Urzuasa details.
But they are not the only Latinos who show their identity in this parade, the famous giant skulls returned to take the Sixth Avenue.
And within this parade could not miss the Mexican mariachi music that imposed the Latin musical notes to the famous parade.
In addition, a family came disguised as catrinas with a special meaning, honoring six relatives who lost their lives due to COVID: “Because it leads us to our culture, our beliefs and our past that we look forward to with great anxiety.”

And after the pandemic there could be no other more special disguise than vaccination: “This year represents a lot because last year was not very well due to COVID, the pandemic was very ugly,” says one of the participants.
And as if it were a spooky tale from the afterlife that is relived every year, more than 50,000 zombies, monsters and various creatures produced astonishment and terror in the thousands of spectators.
The parade ran from Spring Street to 14th Street. At the end of the stop, one of the contingents returned to dance the famous Thriller choreography by dozens of zombies, monsters and banshees that recreated a Halloween atmosphere that not even the worst of nightmares could emulate.
