The annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) will be celebrated in Old Town on November 2, 2021. This free event will include the traditional candlelight procession starting at Sundown, beginning in front of the Immaculate Conception Church, located at San Diego Avenue and Twiggs Street. The procession will travel down San Diego Avenue to El Campo Santo Cemetery.

Many restaurants, businesses, museums, and shops will be creating over 50 traditional and contemporary Día de los Muertos altars (ofrendas). Unique ofrendas will honor historic Old Town figures, as well as more current stories. A public ofrenda will be in El Campo cemetery where visitors are encouraged to add their own mementos, photos, and written tributes to loved ones.
