Día de Muertos, known as the Day of the Dead, is a cherished tradition that allows families and communities to pay tribute to the spirits of their departed ancestors. It is a time when they can reconnect with them through joyous gatherings and remembrance. Rooted in the indigenous cultures of what is now Mexico, this sacred holiday has evolved over time, influenced by Spanish culture. Día de Muertos Festival Seattle continues this rich tradition, celebrating the lives of loved ones and affirming the eternal cycle of life and death through a tapestry of ancient customs, arts, and culture.
