The Mattie Rhodes Center's First Friday Calaca Parade transformed the streets into a luminous celebration of life, memory, and community. Hundreds gathered to honor loved ones who've passed, carrying glowing skeletal figures through the neighborhood—not in mourning, but in joyful remembrance. #community #culture #DiaDeMuertos #KansasCity #CulturalHeritage #CommunityBuilding #kansascitycreative @mattierrhode
