Missoula Festival of the Dead 2015

Missoula Festival of the Dead 2015

Each fall Missoulians come together to create a Festival of the Dead Parade, which is coordinated by Zootown Arts Community Center.  The festival is an all-inclusive event that honors life and death through community involvement.  Throughout the month of October, ZACC will host workshops, events, and performances which all come together in a traditional Festival of the Dead parade through downtown Missoula.
