About this Event

A taste of Mexico. A tradition of remembrance.

Join us at Mercado Amigo on Friday, 30 October, from 4–7pm, and discover one of Mexico’s most cherished seasonal baking traditions: Pan de Muerto.

Meaning “bread of the dead,” this traditional sweet bread is prepared for Día de Muertos, a celebration honouring loved ones who have passed away. Placed on ofrendas—altars of remembrance—and shared with family and friends, it represents the connection between food, memory and love. Its distinctive decorations often resemble bones, reflecting its connection to this meaningful tradition.

Our Pan de Muerto is handmade by Erika Stiegl, a Mexican entrepreneur, baker and pastry chef, bringing a taste of her heritage to Munich.

Whether it is a familiar favourite or your first taste, come discover Mexican gastronomy through the culture and stories that make it special. Take home a bread to share and bring a little Día de Muertos tradition to your table.

When: Friday, 30 October 2026 | 4–7pm
Where: Mercado Amigo · Burgstraße 10 · Munich

Come for the bread. Discover the tradition.
