Mexican tradition with British origin. One of the most acclaimed scenes in the Agent 007 James Bond film saga gave rise to a great tradition such as the Day of the Dead Parade
The last days of October and the first days of November have a special vibe for Mexicans with the day of the dead, where we remember loved ones who have gone ahead on the road. and for them, in addition to the offerings, in places like Mexico City events such as the Day of the Dead parade are organized, a very Mexican festival whose origin is recent.

Despite the fact that in the towns there are great festivals around the pantheons and churches, the Day of the Dead parade was not something traditional in the big cities, a specific case in Mexico City, which thanks to a scene of 007 Specter made a tradition his own.
In March 2005, the production of Sony Pictures and MGM, in charge of Sam Mendes, devised for the opening sequence of the film a parade commemorating the day of the dead in the streets of Mexico City, where James Bond is at the hunt for a terrorist
The terrorist, who has in mind to blow up a bomb in the stadium, is a target of British intelligence and when Bond is about to kill him, Marco Sciarra’s henchmen explode a bomb in a hotel, so that their leader escapes among the crowd. .
From the big screen to the streets of CDMX
In 2015, 007 Specter was released, and the initial scene was so pleasing that the Government of Mexico City promoted the idea of organizing this festivity year after year, of course, without explosions, Italian terrorists and British spies.
On November 6, 2016, the first Day of the Dead parade took place, which toured Paseo de la Reforma and the streets of the Historic Center to culminate in the mega offering that takes place in the Zócalo of Mexico City.
