Join an authentic, grass-roots celebration of Day of the Dead Celebration this season in either the Fruitvale section of Oakland or the Mission in San Francisco. Celebrate Mexican culture and history while immersing yourself in the traditions of the local community.

Fruitvale Day of the Dead
Sunday, October 29th from 10 AM to 5 PM
Fruitvale Village, East 12th Street at 33rd Avenue (near the Fruitvale BART Station)

Now in its 22nd year, The Unity Council Día de Los Muertos Festival is a free, outdoor festival that brings over 60,000 people to the vibrant, culturally-rich Fruitvale neighborhood to enjoy world-class live music, family-friendly games, rides and activities, traditional Latin American artisans, and the stunning altar artistic installations created by community members paying homage to los Muertos.

Families across California join us to experience live music, Ballet Folklorico, Aztec dancers and to shop at the local artisan craft stands. The Día de los Muertos Festival was inducted into the U.S. Library of Congress by Congresswoman Barbara Lee as a “Local Legacy.”
