IntroductionOn the 1st and 2nd of November, Mexican families honour the temporary return of their deceased relatives and loved ones through colourful altars, rituals and celebrations. Día de los Muertos is a joyful time to demonstrate love and respect for their deceased family members and to celebrate their memory.
In Mexico, these days imply the transitory return of the souls of the deceased, who return home to the world of the living, to live with their families, and to nourish themselves with the essence of the Food that is offered to them on the altars placed in their honour.
We invite you to be a part of this enchanting cultural experience filled with music, dance, delicious food, and the warmth of community.
