Traditional festivals folklore and fairs México

All of the country, all families, all individuals celebrate and unite with their loved ones on November 1. Nothing to see with the All. Here, the Feast of the Dead is a feast in colour. You can't miss it. The capital markets are filled with mâché paper skeletons, cempasuchil flowers, sweets, copal. After installing an altar in their home and offering offerings on the graves of their dead, the Mexicans are watching in cemeteries, eating, drinking, laughing and mourning the memory of those who left. A feast that you can live by visiting any cemetery in the city. In parallel, gigantic altars were mounted on the Zócalo and on the esplanade of the Ciudad Universitaria.

On May 5, the inhabitants of Peñon de los Baños in Mexico City staged a theatrical performance of the Battle of Puebla in 1862, during which the Mexican army, led by General Zaragoza, defeated Napoleon III's French army. A colourful show not to be missed! At the same time, the park, which contains the city's former forts, hosts a fair, while the city centre is dedicated to artistic expression.
