Portland has several opportunities to celebrate the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. These events are opportunities to remember friends and family who have died and to support them on their spiritual journey. They are also opportunities for non-Mexican community members to share in culture and learn about the holiday and celebration. We hope you find a meaningful way to celebrate!

Don’t see your celebration? Add it here, and use the “Día de los Muertos” tag.
