The famous Mexican festival celebrated on November 2nd is known as Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This vibrant celebration honors deceased loved ones and is rooted in indigenous traditions mixed with Catholic influences. Families create altars, or ofrendas, adorned with photographs, mementos, and offerings such as food, drinks, and flowers, particularly marigolds. The festival is a time for families to reunite, remember, and celebrate the lives of those who have passed away, believing that the deceased return to be with their families during this time. The colorful festivities include music, dance, and parades throughout Mexico.
