Instead of Halloween, many Mexicans celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 1st and 2nd. This vibrant tradition honors deceased loved ones with altars, offerings, and gatherings, emphasizing remembrance and celebration of life rather than fear. Families create colorful displays featuring photos, food, and flowers, particularly marigolds, to welcome the spirits of the departed back home. The holiday blends indigenous customs with Catholic influences, showcasing Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
