Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by those of Mexican heritage throughout the world.
While this holiday is typically held around the same time as Halloween, it is its own separate holiday with its own traditions and intentions. Día de Los Muertos is a celebration of life.
Below are some ways you can celebrate along with our Mexican friends this week.
