 |
|
Don't miss what is becoming a tradition in Mexico City - the wonderful Alebrije Parade! According to my sources at the Museo de Arte Popular, the sponsoring museum, this year it will be bigger and better than ever with many more alebrijes participating, created by artisans from all over the Rep�blica, not just Mexico City. It will take place on Saturday, October 23, beginning at noon, starting at the Z�calo, proceeding down Madero and Ju�rez and Reforma and ending up at el �ngel. If you can't make the parade, all of the alebrijes will be on display from the 23rd till November 7 along Reforma between el �ngel and la Diana.
From official MAP PR: En esta ocasi�n y en conmemoraci�n del Bicentenario de la Independencia y Centenario de la Revoluci�n, los ALEBRIJES MONUMENTALES participantes ser�n alusivos a los h�roes o personajes representativos de dichos sucesos hist�ricos, en dise�o "alebrijado".

Thanks for the heads up! This is one of my favorite things to see every year.
Unfortunately, I will be in Cuernavaca for a wedding that weekend  I can't wait to see the alebrijes when I get back, though! |

How wonderful. My friend and her family got to march in the procession last year, and help carry one of the alebrijes. I hope you'll post pictures from the event. I plan to get there one of these days...
Saludos,
