Celebrate the Day of the Dead in Broward and Dade

Published: October 30, 2024

Day of the Dead – also known as Dia de los Muertos – is a Mexican holiday that invites

the spirits of the dearly departed to a joyous reunion of food, drink and celebration in their honor. Local celebrations take place at CityPlace Doral and downtown Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, November 2 this year.

Celebrating with sugar skulls and marigolds, free festivities recognizing this vibrant tradition will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on November 2 at CityPlace Doral. Family activities will include a processional of folkloric dancers, face painting, stilt walkers, mariachis, entertainment and costumed characters. There will also be a “El Mercado” night market for people and pups, and a pet meet up at the Bark Park. Guests and pets are encouraged to dress in theme.

In Fort Lauderdale, the day-long Day of the Dead celebration starts at 3 p.m. on November 2 and includes entertainment, family activities, a playful processional of costumed revelers and giant puppets travelling through the city near Esplanade Park, and an evening-long street party at Backyard FTL, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale. The celebration, for all ages, includes music, face painting, food trucks and craft vendors. Admission is free.
