Day of the Dead Street Walk Tomorrow Night

Mazatlán’s traditional “callejoneada” through the streets of Centro Historico to view altars created by residents takes place tomorrow night (Nov. 1) beginning at 8pm in the Plazuela Machado.
The theme this year, said Cultura director Raúl Rico, is “El Carnaval de los Muertos” in homage to Rigoberto Lewis who for many years designed the primary floats for Mazatlán’s annual Carnival before he died earlier this year.
After the street walk, celebrants are invited to the Centro Municipal de las Artes (CMA) and Angela Peralta Theater for free performances and art shows.
This year those wishing to see the performances at the CMA and theater must have tickets which are free (4 per family) and available tomorrow at a Cultura booth set up in the Plazuela Machado beginning at 10am. The idea, said Rico, is to regulate the influx of people by dividing them into groups by hour to avoid overcrowding.
