    An outdoor event is taking place beneath a highway overpass featuring a large, colorful Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) mural painted on a concrete support column and the underside of the bridge beam. The mural depicts a large skeletal figure (La Catrina style) wearing a sombrero with flowers, surrounded by dancing skeletons and musical notes.
