5 Día de los Muertos Events in El Paso You Can’t Miss This Weekend
Don’t miss the parades, live music, and cultural magic of El Paso’s 2025 Día de los Muertos weekend. Get ready, El Paso because the first weekend in November is about to be bursting with color, culture, and community spirit for Dia De Los Muertos.
Día de los Muertos — or Day of the Dead — is a vibrant Mexican tradition that honors the lives of loved ones who’ve passed on. Instead of mourning, families celebrate through music, food, and memories, creating ofrendas (altars) decorated with photos, candles, and marigolds which are the flowers believed to guide spirits back home.
This day is not about sadness, it’s about connection and keeping memories alive through joy, color, and love.
Rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions and blended with Catholic influences, the holiday takes place on November 1st and 2nd, coinciding with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
