Day of the Dead
In spite of skeletons and skulls, don’t call it Mexican Halloween. Hispanic cultures remember their departed loved ones with sight, sound, and tastes on Dia de los Muertos. This festival welcomes all and is family-friendly.
Dia de los Muertos: It’s not ‘Mexican Halloween’
Dia de los Muertos, a traditional Mexican holiday typically celebrated November 2, is the day souls of the dead, as the tradition goes, return to visit their living family members. The holiday has deep roots running back to Aztec and Mayan cultures more than three thousand years ago, with modern branches throughout Latino, Hispanic, and other cultures worldwide.
