Day of the Dead Parade and Festivities

 

Even admidst an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Mexico City will proceed with 2021 Day of the Dead celebrations. Pandemic contingency procedures are being enforced, and guests are reminded to maintain social distances (1.5 meters between parties) and to use antiseptic hand gel when frequent handwashing is not possible. Outdoors and well-ventilated spaces are to be preferred for maximum safety.

October 29 to November 2, 2021:  Activities in Mexico City will center around the Second Annual Festival of Offerings and Floral Arrangements. (See the events calendar entry here.) The festival presents altars of offering (ofrendas) all over the Historic Center. There were 62 registered when the festival was last held in 2019.

The Day of the Dead Parade will take place on October 31. (Events Calendar.)  Likely the single most spectacular event in Mexico City, every year the parade is different. 2021 promises to be no less incredible.

The Parade covers 8.7 Kms and will last about 4.5 hours.
