Join us in Downtown El Paso the Saturday of NOVEMBER 1st, 2025!
Día de los Muertos Desfile & Festival:
a celebration of life and those who have departed. DÍa de los Muertos is a holiday that has roots in Pre-Columbian Meso-American traditions and the observance of All Soul’s Day brought to Mexico by the Spanish in the early 1500's. It is celebrated on both November 1 and 2, with preparations happening on the days before as well. The holiday is centered on family remembrances where homes and cemeteries are decorated with altars and ofrendas (offerings) to the spirits of their loved ones who have passed away.
