Tips from the community

Begun in the artist community more than three decades ago, the All Souls Procession is not exclusively a Day of the Dead parade, but it is a strong component of the parade. The two-mile All Souls Procession features a giant urn where parade-goers can place their paper messages before they are burned at the conclusion of the parade. Coordinated by nonprofit Many Mouths One Stomach, the event on November 6, 2022 includes the Ancestors Project in which photos of loved ones are projected during the finale.

What a way to get away from the sea than to go the exact opposite direction and settle into some sandy, desert landscapes. Hey, we are big fans of the desert, and Tuscon takes the cake for one of the vibiest orangey-red desert landscapes to check out in the US. Yes, it's *hot* but there are plenty of obscure cacti, sprawling national parks, and dynamic canyons to explore in the vicinity to keep your summer adventurous and exciting at this gorgeous destination.

We are sure your dad will enjoy the gorgeous weather, ice-cold cocktails, and mouthwatering cuisine that Tuscon has to offer- and the breathtaking scenery doesn't hurt either.
