Metallica perform The Day That Never Comes, live at Mexico City in 2009.

So in 2016, Mexico City had the first official Day of the Dead parade. Word is that this will continue to be an annual event and you can look for it along Paseo de la Reforma on the last Saturday of October. It's a pretty cool experience and locals and tourists alike line the sidewalks from the Angel of Independence monument all the way to the Zocalo to catch a glimpse of the brightly colored floats and the beautifully costumed dancers. It's not terribly authentic, but it's still a nice parade. Another thing you can do on Day of the Dead in Mexico City is to head to the Zocalo. If you want to experience downtown Mexico City during the Day of the Dead, then staying in the city is the best option. It's located right next to Alameda Park and the Palace of Fine Arts and is within walking distance of the Zocalo.

? When: The Mexico City Day of the Dead Parade in 2019 has NOT been officially announced yet. Each year, this Day of the Dead parade has been held on the Saturday before Day of the Dead. So for 2019, it is assumed the parade would be held on Saturday, October 26, 2019. A huge pyramid lights up as Mexico history and myths are acted out. Of course, La Llorona makes an appearance too, but the performance goes well beyond her tale. Other boats pull up in back to offer everything from fresh hot street corn to more cervezas. There's even a boat carrying port-o-potties, allowing people to relieve themselves for 10 pesos. Really! It's all quite a unique and interesting Day of the Dead event in Mexico City to check out. ?? When: This event usually begins in late September and runs through November, but is particularly popular on the dates around Day of the Dead.

Day of the Dead (known as Dia de Muertos in Spanish) is celebrated in Mexico between October 31st and November 2nd. On this holiday, Mexicans remember and honor their deceased loved ones. It is believed that the spirits consume the essence and the aroma of the foods that are offered. Other items that are placed on the altar include sugar skulls, often with the person's name inscribed on the top, pan de Muertos, a special bread that is made especially for the season, and cempasuchil (marigolds) which bloom at this time of year and lend a special fragrance to the altar.

The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Dia de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and helping support their spiritual journey. In Mexican culture, death is viewed as a natural part of the human cycle.

Mexico City will grab your heart, sometimes lifting it higher than the surrounding snowcapped peaks, other times pulling it right out of your chest, still beating with the anguish felt by the sacrificial victims of the ruthless Mexica rulers. Be prepared to be exhilarated and disgusted, delighted and saddened, amused and scared-possibly all within the span of a few blocks. Choosing a perfect day to spend in CDMX-the city was officially rebranded in 2016 after decades of being known as the Distrito Federal, or simply DF-is no easy feat

More than 100,000 were estimated to attend the parade that was sponsored by the Mexican government. More than 100,000 people gathered for the first ever Day of the Dead parade in Mexico City. The parade is not part of traditional Day of the Dead celebrations, which usually include quiet family gatherings. The event was inspired by the James Bond movie, Spectre, and organisers hope it will bring tourism to the country.
