Things To Do

Day of the Dead Festivities throughout the weekend!
Día de los Muertos acknowledges the symbiotic relationship between life and death. El día de Los Muertos is celebrated on Nov. 1st (in honor of deceased children) and Nov. 2nd (in honor of deceased adults), in which the spirits of the dead are believed to return home and spend time with their relatives on these two days. To welcome them, the family build altars in their honor. *November 2nd is an official Public Holiday in Mexico.
