Muestra de las tradiciones mexicanas.

Hombres y mujeres disfrazados de catrinas desfilan por las calles de esta ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad. A dos años de su nacimiento, este festival único en su tipo, ha logrado atraer a turistas de todo el orbe. Llegan fascinados por las tradiciones mexicanas que celebran la vida y la muerte.
La fiesta del Día de muertos coincide con el final del ciclo anual del maíz y celebra el retorno temporal de los seres queridos fallecidos a sus hogares, las familias los esperan con ofrendas, les preparan sus alimentos preferidos, ponen velas en los cementerios, los decoran con flores y adornos de papel picado. De ahí la inspiración para el festival que, además de desfile de catrinas, reúne expresiones artísticas y culturales como visitas guiadas a los cementerios, un ciclo de cortometrajes, conferencias en el teatro Ángela Peralta, talleres para niños en el jardín principal y una exposición de pan de muerto de reconocidos chefs.
La tercera edición de este festival se celebrará del 30 de octubre al 2 de noviembre. El fotógrafo Spencer Tunick es uno de los invitados especiales junto con la bailarina y música Andrea Brook, que en años pasados ha sorprendido interpretando al arpa más grande del mundo, en esta edición impartirá una clase de yoga para quien asista a la plaza cívica vestido de muerto o catrina. Todos los eventos son gratuitos.

• Dia de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead—is a holiday celebrated on November 1. Although marked throughout Latin America, Dia de los Muertos is most strongly associated with Mexico, where the tradition originated.
  
  Dia de los Muertos honors the dead with festivals and lively celebrations, a typically Latin American custom that combines indigenous Aztec ritual with Catholicism, brought to the region by Spanish conquistadores. (Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on All Saints Day and All Souls Day, minor holidays in the Catholic calendar.)
  
  Assured that the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Dia de los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Dia de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones.
  
  The most familiar symbol of Dia de los Muertos may be the calacas and calaveras (skeletons and skulls), which appear everywhere during the holiday: in candied sweets, as parade masks, as dolls. Calacas and calaveras are almost always portrayed as enjoying life, often in fancy clothes and entertaining situations.
