3. Dolores Olmedo
This precinct is one of the city’s favorites and every year surprises with its traditional ofrenda. The last two years it has been presented in different venues, including the new Aztlán Urban Park and the Natural History Museum.
Through social networks the Dolores Olmedo Museum announced that this year there will be an ofrenda; however, it has not been informed when or where we will be able to see it. So we will have to wait another little bit to know the details.
