Welcome to Weekends In the Park's "Viva La Vida: Day of the Dead" celebration, a special event that brings together people from all walks of life to commemorate and honor the rich traditions of this unique holiday. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with color, music, food, and heartfelt remembrance.

Discover the Spirit of Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead, also known as Día de los Muertos, is a Mexican holiday celebrated annually on November 1st and 2nd. It is a time to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away. Contrary to its name, the holiday is not somber, but rather a joyful celebration of life and an opportunity to reconnect with our ancestors.

At Weekends In the Park, we have created a truly immersive experience that captures the spirit and essence of Day of the Dead. Our event showcases the vibrant traditions, customs, and beliefs associated with this holiday, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the Mexican culture and its rich history.

Immerse Yourself in the Vibrant Atmosphere

As you step into our Day of the Dead celebration, you'll find yourself surrounded by a captivating atmosphere of colors, sounds, and scents. The event features elaborately decorated altars, known as ofrendas, adorned with marigolds, candles, photographs, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed.

Stroll through the market stalls, where local artisans showcase their exquisite handmade crafts, including intricately designed sugar skulls, papel picado (colorful paper banners), and traditional clothing. Immerse yourself in the music of live mariachi bands and feel the rhythm of traditional dances performed by talented folkloric groups.

A Journey Through Mexican Traditions

Our Day of the Dead celebration offers a diverse range of activities and experiences for visitors of all ages. Join one of our informative workshops to learn about the symbolism behind sugar skulls and create your own, or participate in traditional face painting sessions to fully embrace the festive spirit. Engage with our knowledgeable guides who will take you on a storytelling journey, sharing the myths, legends, and rituals that encompass this remarkable holiday.

Experience the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine at our food court, where talented chefs prepare traditional dishes like tamales, mole, and pan de muerto. Savor every bite and let the aromas transport you to the heart of Mexico.
