Originally called "Dia de los Muertos", Day of the Dead Festival is celebrated at the last day of October and first two days of November. This year, the festival will be held during 31 October-1-2 November and it will be celebrated through the world, especially by Mexicans. Friends and family gather to celebrate loved ones who have passed on, through elaborate traditions of food, art, colors, and culture.
It’s a two-day festival celebrating the reunion of relatives with their lovely departed. You can see colourful costumes, loads of food and drink, skeletons on suites, parties in cemeteries, skull-shaped candies and mariachi bands performing next to graves. This beautiful, moving spectacle will decrease your fear of crossing over, because – unlike Halloween’s witches and all-round terror – the Day of the Dead smashes the taboos surrounding death, celebrating the continuation of life and the value of interdimensional communion.
