Dia de los Muertos Celebrations in the
Albuquerque Area
In Albuquerque, Day of the Dead
(Dia de los Muertos) celebrations take place over several weeks in
October and November, although the holiday is traditionally celebrated between
October 31st and November 2nd.
Families remember deceased loved ones and honor them by
building offering altars (ofrendas) where sugar skulls are placed, along with
offerings of pan de muertos (bread). The holiday is festive although the
subject may not be, as spirits are welcomed back into peoples' lives for
another year.
The Marigold Parade and Festival takes place in
Albuquerque's South Valley on Sunday, November 3, 2013.
