The DAY of the DEAD Parade MEXICO CITY 🇲🇽 2024 | ALTARS & CATRINAS

#diademuertos #catrinas #mexicanculture

This year was our first year attending the Dia de Muertos parade in Mexico City and we were absolutely amazed. There were towering skeleton puppets, Catrinas dressed in elaborate costumes with intricate face paint, marching bands, dancers, and performers that filled the streets with rhythmic music. There was a great exhibit of colorful alebrijes, so much food, and other things to buy. It's so popular that there were more than a million people there!

We learned so much about the meaning of the altar/ofrenda and all of its elements like shredded papar, bread, water, salt, photos, flowers, etc. We loved learning about this amazing tradition and hope you enjoy what we have to share.
