The "Day of the Dead Festival," to be held from October 27th to November 5th, will once again fill Puerto Vallarta with color, aromas, flavors, and a distinctly Mexican tradition. This is one of Mexico's most important traditions, honored by the residents of Vallarta and appreciated by visitors, for which an appealing program has been developed.

The celebration will go off on Thursday, October 27th, near the Malecon Lighthouse, where a tent will be put up for various activities. A saxophonist and Grupo Uno will perform on the first day, and the main event will be the lighting of a massive catrina, which will set a Guinness World Record.
