Marigolds & Ofrendas - What About Halloween?

It's not too late to build an Ofrenda

Deadline to Sign-up Monday @ 6pm

Sign-up Build an Ofrenda by Monday @ 6pm: We already have 25+ ofrendas that will be built in Old Town. We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you (merchants, residents, property owners) to sign-up to build an ofrenda. Why?

It's culturally significant way to honor & remember loved ones.
Merchants get additional foot-traffic from people wandering Old Town searching for the ofrendas.
Collectible Tote: Any merchants who build an ofrenda will also be able to sell the 2024 Collectible Tote, with artwork by Manuel Salas, designed specifically for DDLM 2024. It is stunning!

Then we print the Ofrenda A-frame map which will be featured on signs all over Old Town.

Want More Marigold Garland?

We still have LOTS of Marigold Garland! We have more than 15,000 feet and we've barely put a dent into it.

So stop by Salsa Saint and pick up more garland to decorate. Come and grab, seconds, or even thirds!

Halloween in Old Town

is Still and Always a Go!

With all of the Dia de los Muertos planning maybe you have been wondering, what is happening in Old Town for Halloween?

Same as every year!

Halloween & Trick or Treating in Old Town from 4pm-7pm

Here is the Plan:

Locals: Enjoy a free, family-friendly evening with music, costumes and candy.

Halloween in Old Town is a fun, safe place to trick-or-treat. Stroll through the plazas for candy from MANY participating local merchants, enjoy music, trick or treat, shop, and so much more!

Merchants: Participating merchants will be handing out candy starting at 4pm and will continue to give out candy until 7pm or until it runs out.

Note: We make it a priority to clearly communicate that Halloween and Día de los Muertos are entirely separate holidays. While they may occur around the same time, these two celebrations have very different cultural roots and meanings. It’s important to respect the traditions of Día de los Muertos, which is focused on honoring and remembering loved ones, distinct from the themes of Halloween.
