Day of the Dead in Huatulco
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Huatulco to start one of the most exciting celebrations of the Oaxaca coast: the Xandú festival, a party that honors the memory of those who are no longer with us through music, color, and cuisine. Let's go!
To get us ready for the evening, we'll enjoy a mezcal tasting and put on themed makeup inspired by the iconic Calavera Catrina. Now you're all set to join in the big celebration!
Then, we'll head to the starting point of the big Catrinas parade. We'll join a sea of carnival groups, allegorical characters, and live music that fill the streets of Huatulco with rhythm during one of the most important moments of the night.
After the parade, we'll head to the main area of the festival. You'll have prime seating to watch the official opening ceremony with the participating delegations, admire the cultural displays, and enjoy the anticipated headlining concert. Plus, you'll have a food voucher to taste the delicious local cuisine.
After this magical experience that connects community and tradition, we'll take you back to your hotel 5.5 hours later.
