Day of the Dead in Oaxaca
Bring the family to Oaxaca for the Day of the Dead. This one-of-a-kind festival – which celebrates the lives of everyone who came before us – is a vibrant fiesta of elaborate costumes, grand feasts, and vivid colors. But it’s also a time for quiet reflection and poignant moments to remember lost loved-ones. This holiday is celebrated all over Mexico, but Oaxaca’s parades, camaraderie, and festivities are second to none.
