The city lights of Mexico dance and sparkle as many Mexican families join to celebrate Día de los Muertos, a day full of laughs, memories, and joy. Just like the United States celebrates Memorial Day, Mexico celebrates Day of the Dead; a day of remembrance for those who have died. Día de los Muertos serves as an opportunity to celebrate with the afterlife in a positive and respectful manner to keep the tradition going.
Día de los Muertos is a two-day celebration (three if October 31st gets included) that begins on November the 1st and ends on the 2nd. Bright and beautiful ofrendas (altars) are built inside homes to commemorate the life of someone who has passed. Flowers and many different offerings are built and put aside their altars. Famous
