The festival you refer to is The Day of the Dead, which Mexican and Hispanic people practice over three days and coincides with the Roman Catholic Church's celebration of All Souls' Day (31 October) which is also known as Hallowed Evening from which the vulgar secular celebration of Halloween is derived. All Souls' Day is followed by All Saints' Day (1 November). In Mexican tradition, the festival is extended to a third day(2 November). The Mexican people festoon the streets with many decorations including coloured lights. There are also street processions all culminating in the cemetery which is also decorated, including coloured twinkling lights. There is food and drink available and the atmosphere is anything but sombre. It is a celebration of the fact that their loved ones are lying at peace in their graves awaiting the day of Resurrection. The families of the dead take tools to clear the graves of any weeds and place many, many flowers on the graves and every other place for that matter. The Day of The Dead is as much a social activity as a religious one.
