DAY OF DEAD
SINALOA:
In Mazatln the celebration of Day of the Dead was started in 1994. The result was very
Sinaloense: a procession guided by the Tambora music to visit offerings and altars made
by the community. If we add the carnival culture of our city today we see something similar
to a "Carnival of the Dead" without missing the beer.
In the celebration of Da de Muertos in Mazatln cannot miss the use of the facilities of the
Teatro ngela Peralta to enter a tour of spaces not allowed to the public and with artistic
and contemporary interpretations and artistic performances of death and that make the
public perceive being in another reality in many ways.

QUINTANA ROO:
This celebration in Tres Reyes attracts hundreds of visitors and gives them the opportunity
to live an interactive experience with the community families, who welcome them in their
own homes to explain the symbolisms of their altars, sharing their customs and rites of the
festivity.

The Mayan Priests from the community gather together with the visitors in Cenote de la
Vida and perform the blessing ceremony to the visitors and pray for the souls with
percussions and hundreds of candles. Finally, the participants enjoy a delicious dinner full
of typical dishes from the Hanal Pixan. This celebration is prepared in one of the three
days that the custom indicates: October 31th, dedicated to children; November 1st,
