Oceanside CA— This was the seventh year the Dia de los Muertos celebration has been held at Mission San Luis Rey and each year the crowd seems to be getting bigger with the costumes and make-up getting better.
Over 100 vendors lined the parking lot in front of the mission with more than a dozen traditional altars, or ofrendas, built by families, set up in back decorated with marigolds from Mellano and Company of Oceanside.
Below are some of the faces of Dia de los Muertos 2015:
