Day of the Dead – DIA de Muertos

Enjoy a day of cultural exploration at the Atlanta History Center! Smiling faces, swirling brilliant colors, elaborately decorated altars, storytelling, and authentic Mexican food and music are just a handful of things that visitors see during the annual program, Day of the Dead or Dia de Muertos.

The ancient festival is rooted in Mexican heritage and serves as a way for families to remember their deceased loved ones and to celebrate their children and the continuity of life.
