Forget for a moment about the crowds in the Historic Center and set out to discover the Villa Flores Family Altar 2026. This community gem is the perfect excuse to experience the culture of the Day of the Dead in the most authentic and intimate way possible.
To understand the magic of this place, you have to know its history. For more than 20 years, this family has transformed the backyard of their grandparents’ home into a spectacular mega-altar. The altar is dedicated to the pillars of the family: Alberto Villa and Ana Flores. And here’s the most beautiful detail: many of the pieces you’ll see are crafted by family members themselves. They do this to honor the legacy of Grandpa Alberto, who was a talented artisan specializing in pottery and papier-mâché.
What exactly will you find there? The main altar is accompanied by a display that will leave you speechless: more than 1,000 pieces of folk art. These beautiful pieces have been collected over the years from states such as Michoacán, Veracruz, Puebla, Toluca, Tlaxcala, and Oaxaca.
If you want to enjoy the full experience, mark these key dates on your calendar:
- Cultural Afternoon: On October 28, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., there will be live music, folk ballet, and theater. Perfect for the whole family!
- Visit the altar: On November 1 and 2, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., you can explore the altar, take amazing photos, and—here’s the best part—take home some candy as a gift!
- Exact location: Fray Diego de Altamirano 4, Vasco de Quiroga, Gustavo A. Madero.
Plus, if you want to go with your coworkers or classmates, they offer group tours (minimum of 8 people) by appointment from October 18 to November 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. All of this has a single purpose: to preserve love, family unity, and promote cultural engagement in the community.
Admission is free for all these activities. Don’t miss the chance to be moved by the talent, dedication, and spectacular display of the Villa Flores 2026 family’s offering.
