Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos ) in Los Cabos

A Colorful Celebration in Los Cabos

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations

Every year on November 1st and 2nd, Los Cabos lights up with Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, a vibrant Mexican tradition that honors loved ones who have passed away. In Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, this holiday is not about mourning—it’s a joyful festival of life, family, and remembrance.

In San José del Cabo, the streets fill with colorful parades, traditional music, and people dressed as Catrinas—elegantly painted skeletons in dazzling outfits. The atmosphere is electric, with locals and tourists coming together to celebrate life with music, dancing, and art.

In Cabo San Lucas, you’ll also find lively ofrendas (altars) set up throughout town, especially in public spaces and local restaurants. These altars are decorated with marigolds, candles, and photos, along with offerings of favorite foods and drinks of the deceased, inviting their spirits to join the celebration.

Both towns offer a unique glimpse into this heartfelt tradition, with stunning Catrina costumes, vibrant parades, and beautiful ofrendas honoring the departed. Whether you’re enjoying the festivities in Cabo San Lucas or exploring the artistic displays in San José del Cabo, the Day of the Dead in Los Cabos is a magical, must-see experience!
