Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) | November 2025 | Mexico

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant and deeply meaningful Mexican tradition celebrating the lives of deceased loved ones. Held across Mexico, the festival features colourful altars, or ofrendas, decorated with marigolds, candles, and photos, as well as lively parades with participants dressed as calaveras (skeletons). The celebrations, particularly in cities like Mexico City and Oaxaca, are marked by music, dancing, and traditional foods like pan de muerto. It’s a unique cultural experience that blends joy, remembrance, and artistic expression.
