Several years ago, we enjoyed Dia De Los Muertos in Oaxaca. We stayed at Casa Colonial and were shown around by the owners.800-758-1697

I was there (in Zihua) in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The celebration was pretty big and lots of locals in 2019 and also last year 2021 was pretty big too, although decorations started late because of the hurricane we experienced. Of course in 2020 there was nothing because of COVID. Last year 2021, someone on this board shared the calendar of events with me but I can't seem to find one for 2022 anywhere online.
I guess worse case scenario I wait until I get there to find out the events calendar.

A schedule has not been published yet.

Please do realize that for most this is not a "celebration" but a time to remember loved ones lost in a positive light.

Thank you for letting me know the schedule has not been released yet. I do understand what the holiday is and means to the people. I also know they have the desfile and concurso de catrinas. I am hoping this year people will be able to set up ofrendas along Paseo de Pescador like they have in the years prior to COVID.

La Madera always has the main street decorated and a varirty of events take place. And once you arrive there are posters around town…

We don't think of Dia de Muertos as festive, but nevertheless the government and many bars especially like to play the Halloween game and hype it up for our visitors. I'm guessing there will be a competition of altares along the waterfront like we've been doing for quite a few years now, and the ancient indigenous cemetery in La Madera that's also been hyped up a bit with some random crosses will undoubtedly be the scene of some event as it has been in previous years. I also suspect there will be a callejoneada of Katrinas. As soon as an itinerary of events is made public I'll post it here

My family will not be in a festive mood. We will undoubtedly visit the Panteón Municipal in Agua de Correa as we do each year where family members have their tombs to decorate them with flowers and to spend some time with them as well as to visit the Catholic church on Paseo de los Pelícanos in Ixtapa where our grandson's ashes are. It's a difficult time of year for ours and many families, especially after so many of them recently lost so many loved ones to the damned Covid-19 virus.

I don't necessarily come there to celebrate. I do spend time at the cemetery cleaning and putting fresh flowers on the family's tombs. However I do enjoy seeing the children dress up and trick or treat. I dress up and hand out candy. I am that fool.
