Festivals in Mexico are vibrant celebrations that reflect the country's rich cultural heritage. One of the most famous is Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which honors deceased loved ones with colorful altars, marigolds, and sugar skulls. This festival takes place on November 1st and 2nd, blending indigenous traditions with Catholic influences. Another significant festival is Las Posadas, celebrated from December 16th to 24th. This event reenacts Mary and Joseph's search for shelter before the birth of Jesus Christ. Participants go door-to-door, singing carols and asking for lodging, culminating in festive gatherings filled with food, music, and piñatas.
