Where to Celebrate Día de los Muertos Events in the Bay Area

No matter where you live in the region, we’ve got details on events organized by the community to honor and celebrate the dead, including both lively celebrations with music and dancing, along with more solemn gatherings. Día de los Muertos, traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2, is when the living pause from their daily routine to remember the dead. Families across the Bay Area will decorate handmade altars for loved ones who have passed away. These events can include lively celebrations with music and dancing, as well as more solemn gatherings. The Bay Area's large Latino diaspora has led to multiple public Día de Los Muerto events across the region, which are family-friendly and open to all. The California Academy of Sciences hosts 21+ nighttime gatherings each month, showcasing different Día De Los MuERTos traditions from Mexico. An exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center will open on Oct. 23 and will be on display until Nov. 20.
