Experience a vibrant, soul-stirring celebration of life and death at the 27th annual Día de los Muertos festival at the legendary Hollywood Forever Cemetery. As the final resting place for Hollywood icons like Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Mickey Rooney, and Douglas Fairbanks, this historic site provides a profound backdrop for this jubilant Mexican tradition. Día de los Muertos honors those who have transitioned to the “other side of the veil,” marking a mystical time when the boundary between realms lifts, allowing the living and the dead to commune and share a day together. As the largest Día de los Muertos celebration outside of Mexico, this expansive event immerses you in a world of spectacular art, pulsating live music, and diverse food and craft vendors. A true highlight is the captivating Ceremonial Procession, where Aztec ritual dancers in striking face paint and traditional costumes offer blessings as they parade through the cemetery past more than 100 elaborately decorated altars and spiritual shrines crafted by the community in remembrance of their ancestors and loved ones. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore a special exhibition in the Cathedral Mausoleum featuring original works by renowned artists. After approximately four hours at leisure at the festival, we’ll continue to The Original Farmers Market and The Grove. Here, enjoy time at leisure for browsing and a late lunch on your own. A cornerstone of Los Angeles culture since 1934, this bustling open-air marketplace is famous for its historic clock tower and features over 100 artisanal shops, grocers, and global eateries set in a lively, communal atmosphere. This tour involves moderate walking. Suggested: A blanket to sit on as chairs are not permitted in the cemetery.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
