Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday to celebrate our loved ones who have passed away. Everyone can join the celebration in Berlin at the Holzmarkt on November 1st and 2nd. Both children and adults.

We start dying as soon as we are born. But only when we accept our own mortality do we truly begin to live. Then we begin to enjoy every moment and appreciate life.

That is why we celebrate death. With prayers, celebrations, music, food and colors we remember our deceased. At Holzmarkt, you can prepare to greet your dearly departed and dance with them endlessly.

On both November 1st and 2nd there is a full program for children and adults from 16:00 to 22:00. There will be dancing and music, and workshops for creative children where they can paint a skull, a so-called calavera, in vibrant colours.
