Flagstaff artist Emma Gardner’s annual Day of the Dead Procession returned to downtown Flagstaff on Nov. 2. 2017. Participants gathered at the Dark Sky Brewery for a face painting session and placement of mementos on the community ofrenda before proceeding to a evening stroll along the streets of downtown.
