The border between South Florida and Mictlán, the Aztec land of the dead, will be thin this November 2nd as revelers remember and honor their deceased at the South Florida Day of the Dead Festival. This free to the public, festive celebration combines traditional and modern interpretations of Mexican Día de los Muertos traditions for a truly unique spectacle! The time treasured customs of a skeleton procession and the making of Ofrenda altars for deceased loved ones is complimented with the thought provoking “Nocturnes” fine art exhibit. Meanwhile, NW 1st Avenue will be filled with exuberance of music, circus performance, indie craft vendors, and body painting celebrating vitality through creativity!

Our mission is to produce a South Florida signature event for all ages that maintains and respects the cultural integrity of the Day of the Dead tradition, but also expands it toward a modern aesthetic; providing a memory for the dead and a party for the living.
