Día de los Muertos is a cherished Mexican tradition that joyfully honors and remembers loved ones who have passed. It is a celebration of life filled with music, food, altars, and memories, recognizing the lasting bond between the living and the dead.
Typically observed on November 1 (Día de los Angelitos) to remember children and November 2 (Día de los Difuntos) to honor adults, the full tradition can span October 27 to November 3, with each day offering special remembrances from beloved pets to family members who have passed on and ancestors.
At the heart of the celebration are ofrendas (altars), carefully built with offerings like photos, candles, marigolds, favorite foods, and personal mementos to honor and welcome spirits home.
