首先要知道一件事：亡靈節（西班牙文：Día de los Muertos）並非墨西哥版的萬聖節，雖然兩者有些關聯，但相關傳統和氣氛差很多。萬聖節是恐懼和搗蛋的黑暗夜晚；而亡靈節長達兩天，以斑斕的色彩展現對生命的喜悅，以及對死去親人的敬愛。墨西哥各地的人穿上怪裝參加遊行和派對，載歌載舞向亡者獻上祭品。
洛杉磯的墨裔社區這個週末將有大型的慶祝活動，很適合一家大小一同出席體驗喔！
Dia de los Muertos ~ Day of the Dead
October 25 through November 3
Olvera Street hosts its annual celebration of the festive Mexican holiday when families remember their ancestors and the continuity of life.
Festival-goers can enjoy face painting, entertainment, community altars (ofrendas) (on display October 26 through November 2), and a nightly candlelight Novenario Procession (Parade of Living Muertos) at 7pm.
Saturday and Sunday there is entertainment and face painting throughout the day, from 10am-8pm; weekdays entertainment runs from 4pm-8pm. The ofrendas are on display all week. Teatro del Barrio presents La Danza de la Muerte nightly at 6pm.
For over 30 years, the merchants on Olvera Street have celebrated Dia de los Muertos. The celebration has evolved to incorporate the pre-Columbian, Aztec, Mayan and Catholic rituals surrounding death. Each night, a vibrant and colorful procession sets the stage for our ceremony.
Dia de los Muertos is, in fact, a celebration of life – it is not a time to mourn our loved ones, rather it is a time to remember the lives they lead and the many things they enjoyed during that life. Death is a part of life, and so we honor it. Dia de los Muertos at Olvera Street is the only celebration of its kind in Los Angeles – A nine (9) day festival, with altars on display, children’s workshops, face painting, and entertainment throughout.
