Dia de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Dating back to pre-Columbian Aztec culture, Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of life and death, uniting families with their departed loved ones. It’s long been embraced by Los Angeles as a major cultural event. It’s the 20th anniversary of the event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and this year’s theme centers on the monarch butterfly and its winter home, the Mexican state of Michoacán, where Dia de los Muertos has been celebrated for centuries.

The day-long event invites attendees to participate in a Calacas costume contest, enjoy Mexican cuisine and crafts, experience five stages of music and performances, including headliner Cafe Tacuba, and examine the more than 100 altars created by locals honoring their ancestors.
