BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CITY OF EL PASO MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT
Día de los Muertos is a day of remembrance that is observed throughout México. Overarching ritual practices trace back to the various indigenous cultures of México where these traditions varied but were and continue to be firmly associated with death and rooted in strong beliefs about the afterlife.
Contemporary celebrations reflect a merging of Pre-Columbian, Spanish and African cultural, beliefs, and practices. Common elements of this celebration include ofrendas or altars that are decorated with cempasúchil, papel picado, sugar skulls, pan de muerto, and embellished with favorite gustos (tastes and treats) of the dead.
Enjoy family-oriented art activities, food, live music, and more!
