Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of expression in many ways and each year, it starts October 31 and ends November 2 .

Not only is it dedicated to remembering and honouring those loved ones who have passed, it’s centrally focused on the artistic expression of the living through the creation of offerings, costumes, cooking and other tokens.
