Hello, does anyone have a link or information on this years (2022) Day of the Dead festivities?

Thank you

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.

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
