Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead Celebration is the most important holiday of the year in Mexico and parts of the American Southwest, a joyful time when families remember their dead. Day of the Dead provides a colorful look at the iconic folk art and family traditions that play a vital role in the event, which happens across the country from October 31 through November 2.

Kitty Williams and Stevie Mack have led Day of the Dead art and cultural tours in Mexico for many years.
