Description
For over 35 years, the merchants on Olvera Street have celebrated Dia de los Muertos. The celebration has evolved to incorporate the pre-Columbian, Aztec, Mayan, and Catholic rituals surrounding death. A vibrant and colorful procession sets the stage for our ceremony each night.

 

Dia de los Muertos is, in fact, a celebration of life – it is not a time to mourn our loved ones; rather, it is a time to remember the lives they led and the many things they enjoyed during that life. Death is a part of life, and so we honor it. Dia de los Muertos at Olvera Street is the only celebration in Los Angeles – A nine (9) day festival with a nightly procession, community altars on display, and entertainment.
