How's every body Halloween?
Parade of all Souls used to be a very fun event on the second last Saturday before Halloween. It took place at Commerial Drive of city of Vancouver. It is one of the signature event hold by Public Dream Society.
Lots of performers, those on crank, playing fire, or music were together with thousands of participants in which most of them are costumed, if not all.
However, since the event of "Parade of all souls" was too successful and attracted too many people, this year the event is cancelled. Replaced this event is a quiet memorial and community shrine at Mountainview cementary. The event called "A night of all souls". Some of the participants were still costumed. But the focus of the event are on those who passed away. The atmosphere was calm as well as oriental.
Major path was lit by candles on ground. The venue was decorated with prayer flags, lanterns, flowers and individual shrine.
