Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is an interesting topic, no doubt, and rather a famous holiday for many, especially in Mexico where it is an ancient tradition (and I will get to celebrate and check out the festivities in person - yikes) to celebrate the lives of deceased loved ones - altars, music, favorite foods of the deceased, visits to the cemeter with flowers, and celebration are the hallmarks of this long tradition.
Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on November 1 and 2 and beyond, depending on where the festivities take place. November 1 is the Catholic holiday of All Saint's Day; November 2 is All Soul's Day.
There is a huge Dia de los Muertos celebration at the Mission San Luis Rey tomorrow, Sunday November 1, from 10 - 4. There will be numerous altars created, a parade, lots of music and food, dancers, and a chalk cemetery where folks (of Mexican heritage, or not) can participate and remember a loved one.
For more information, visit the San Luis Rey website.
