One of the most magical fall festivals<\/a> in the world is D\u00eda de los Muertos: a traditional Mexican holiday where families honor death and celebrate life. Held on November 2, it’s believed that deceased relatives reunite with their families on Day of the Dead. The night is filled with music, processions, and candlelit ofrendas<\/em> (altars) adorned with marigolds, photos, and refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Day of the Dead is traditionally a Mexican holiday, there are countless D\u00eda de los Muertos festivals held around the world. Many are multi-day festivals, often beginning during or just before Halloween events<\/a>, and extending through All Saints’ Day (November 1), All Souls’ Day (November 2), and beyond. Each is a reunion celebrating life, love, loss, and family. The holiday is filled with food, drinks, makeup, costumes, incense, candles, flowers, altars, and parades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
