The city’s historic streets will come alive with colorful altars, known as Ofrendas, adorned with marigolds, candles, and photographs of loved ones who have passed away. These altars, which are central to the celebrations, offer visitors a glimpse into the deeply spiritual and familial aspects of the holiday. In addition to the visual splendor, the air will be filled with the sounds of traditional music and the scent of local delicacies like pan de muerto, a sweet bread made especially for the occasion.
