Mexico Dead Parade
You have made a very good point. The fact that that the parade took place on October 29th means that it is technically not on Dia de Los Muertos. So that brings up the question,"If it isn't on the exact date of Dia de Los Muertos then is it considered part of it?". I think the answer to that question can be yes or no.
"Mexico’s capital held its first Day of the Dead parade Saturday, complete with floats, giant skeleton marionettes and more than 1,000 actors, dancers and acrobats in costumes." The text evidence up above clearly states that the parade was a "Day of the Dead" parade so I think that concludes that it was part of the holiday.
If trick or treating was added to the day of the dead I personally would probably deny it since it
