Día de los Muertos — Day of the Dead — is one of Mexico’s most evocative traditions, a time when the dead are remembered and life is celebrated in dazzling parades. Fortunately for Americans, its spirit roams freely across the border, with the custom honored in vibrant festivities in cities across the country.
In Mexico, Día de los Muertos is a national holiday observed on November 1 and 2, while in the U.S., events inspired by it unfold throughout October and into early November.
