Attendees, dressed as zombies, witches, ghosts, and other characters, marched from the Revolution Monument to the Zocalo, one of the country’s most iconic public squares.
Organizers emphasized that the event aimed to demonstrate that “zombies are also compassionate.” While donations were voluntary, participants were encouraged to contribute non-perishable food items.
The call for donations included food such as rice, beans, and canned goods, which were given to the organization Food for All, dedicated to distributing aid to vulnerable individuals and families.
