Nine photographic postcards documenting the Chinese community's Feast of the Dead festival in Los Angeles' Old Chinatown, October, 1902. The religious celebration invoked Taoist rituals to honor the dead, and was popularly called the Feast of the Dead, though other translations may be Ta Chiu festival or Dajiao festival. The event took place every three years in Los Angeles' Chinatown, and lasted several days. The images depict Chinese participants in traditional and festive dress; children in decorated carts; men carrying puppets or effigies; and a procession carrying a long paper dragon. Crowds are seen gathered around the Los Angeles Plaza area, and one image shows a group carrying Chinese banners and the American flag.
