Dia de los Muertos Festival at Olvera Street

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.
