"Alebrijes" parade held in Mexico

People gather to see a parade of giant "alebrijes," fantastical creatures made from papier-mâché and painted in bright colors, in Mexico City's main square, the Zocalo, Saturday, October 21, 2017. The Museum of Popular Art organizes the annual alebrije contest to showcase the folk art tradition which originated in the 1930s, when Mexico City folk artist Pedro Linares began building representations based on creatures he dreamt about during a severe illness.
