Get ready for El Paso's 2025 Día de los Muertos weekend, filled with parades, live music, and cultural magic.
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant Mexican tradition that honors loved ones who've passed on. Instead of mourning, families celebrate through music, food, and memories, creating ofrendas (altars) decorated with photos, candles, and marigolds.
This day is not about sadness, it’s about connection and keeping memories alive through joy, color, and love.
Rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions and blended with Catholic influences, the holiday takes place on November 1st and 2nd, coinciding with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
