Our events
Families create altars at home, in cemeteries, or in public spaces. These ofrendas are decorated with photos, candles, flowers, incense, food, and personal items of the departed. Each element has a purpose—marigolds to guide spirits, water to quench their thirst, and pan de muerto to nourish them.
Cities like Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Los Angeles host spectacular parades featuring giant puppets (mojigangas), skeleton costumes, painted faces, and lively music. Streets transform into a sea of color and joy, with thousands gathering to honor the departed.
Families visit cemeteries to clean and decorate graves with candles, marigolds, and offerings. Many stay overnight, singing, sharing food, and telling stories about their loved ones. It’s a moment of both reflection and celebration, connecting the living with the dead.
Mariachi bands, traditional folk music, and dances like La Danza de los Viejitos fill the air during festivities. These performances remind everyone that death is not the end but part of the cycle of life.
Why Dia de los muertos
At its heart, Día de los Muertos is about remembering family and friends who have passed away.
Instead of treating death with sadness or fear, Día de los Muertos celebrates it with music, food, and joy
The rituals bring families together to share stories, cook traditional foods, decorate altars, and visit cemeteries
