All Souls Procession celebrates 35 years of community art

The recent government meeting highlighted two significant community events and addressed liquor license applications.

First, an invitation was extended for the \"Spooktacular Sustainability Tour\" at the Los Realos Sustainability Campus, scheduled for Halloween. Participants will have the opportunity to explore both the landfill and the materials recovery facility operated by Republic Services, gaining insights into the city's recycling and waste management processes. This event aims to educate the public on sustainability practices and the benefits of reducing landfill waste.

In addition, the city manager reported on liquor license applications, presenting four requests for new licenses, one location transfer, and eight special event applications. All applications were confirmed to be in compliance with city regulations, leading to a unanimous motion to forward them to the state liquor board for approval.

The meeting also featured a public call to address various community issues. Notably, Paul Weier invited attendees to the 35th Annual All Souls Procession, a significant cultural event in Tucson that has grown from a small gathering to a major ceremony attracting over 200,000 participants. Weier emphasized the event's community-driven nature, highlighting its reliance on public grants and local support, and its role in fostering artistic expression and remembrance.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to sustainability and community engagement, showcasing events that not only promote environmental awareness but also celebrate local culture and arts.
