Unlike Halloween, the souls do not come to burn crops and bring mischief. On the Day of the Dead they come rather to celebrate with their favorite food and drink, and if there is music, all the better.
That's why the biggest celebration of the Day of the Dead in the cemetery Hollywood Forever has grown from a small congregation of about 300 people in 1999 to the largest event of its kind in the country, with an attendance of more than 40,000.
