Families create altars, or ofrendas, adorned with photos, favorite foods, and marigolds to welcome spirits back to the living world. During this time, people visit cemeteries to clean graves and leave offerings. The celebration includes vibrant parades, music, and traditional foods like pan de muerto, a special bread. This festive occasion emphasizes remembrance, love, and the belief that death is a part of life, fostering a connection between the living and the dead.
