FESTIVAL: Tonight's Day of the Dead celebration in the Mission will hopefully be much more subdued than last night's festivities. The procession begins at 7 p.m. at 22nd and Bryant, and the altars can be viewed between 4 and 10:30 p.m. at Garfield Park. The festival is experiencing major budget cuts, and the organizers want to keep the event sponsor-free. So consider donating. more ›
