Join us for a vibrant and meaningful celebration of Día de Los Muertos in Old Town San Diego from November 1-3, 2024. This weekend-long event is a beautiful tribute to those who have passed, with activities for all ages and opportunities to learn about this deeply rooted cultural tradition.

Throughout the weekend, Old Town San Diego State Historic Park will be home to altares de muertos (altars of the dead), commemorating influential Old Town citizens. Visitors can participate in hands-on art activities and even sign up for a sugar skull painting workshop (materials fee applies). In the spirit of remembrance, guests are invited to contribute names of their lost loved ones to the Community Altar in the Plaza de Armas, where names will be added to a hanging wooden butterfly display.

Parking and Transportation:
Free parking is available at the CalTrans Parking Lot at 4050 Taylor Street after 5:00 PM on Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. For those looking to avoid traffic, Old Town is easily accessible via public transit. The Old Town Transit Center connects to the San Diego MTS Blue & Green Line Trolleys, local bus lines, North County Transit Coaster, and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.

Celebrate life and honor loved ones at this immersive cultural experience. We look forward to seeing you in Old Town San Diego for a festive weekend that’s fun for the whole family!
