Everything that will be happening at the Day of the Dead festival in Bosque de San Juan de Aragón
According to a press release from the Mexico City Ministry of the Environment, one of the activities will be an open-air movie theater, where various films will be shown. On October 23, there will be a screening of a C- or D-rated film; while on October 24, 30, and 31, as well as November 1, A- and AA-rated films will be shown. The lineup will be announced on the park’s social media accounts.
If horror is your thing, you should know that the festival will feature a haunted mansion, as well as a virtual reality dome. You’ll find them on the walkway at Entrance 6 on October 25, 27, 28, and 29 (10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and on October 23, 24, 30, and 31, as well as November 1 (10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.).
But that’s not all. On October 30 and 31, at 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., respectively, there will be a Day of the Dead parade. There will also be one on November 1 at 6:00 p.m.; however, this will be a special edition because children will be able to ask for “calaverita.”
