Let the festivities begin! During October there will be Day of the Dead talks and workshops in the Chapultepec Forest. The best thing is that they are free activities.
Day of the Dead is celebrated in November; however, the activities related to this festivity begin even earlier. Chapultepec has prepared a very special program.
