The Mexican Festival of the Dead is the largest and most important folk festival in Mexico. According to ancient Mexican belief, the dead come to visit from the afterlife on All Saints' Day and celebrate a contemplative and joyful reunion with the living with music, dancing and delicious food.
This colorful, turbulent festival is celebrated all over the world, including in Berlin.
Celebrate with us! At the Mexican Festival of the Dead at the Humboldt Forum, you can expect a market, arts and crafts, workshops and activities for children as well as a colorful evening program that addresses the themes of death, migration and racism with an ofrenda, theater, dance, performance and live music. colonial and pre-Hispanic cultural traditions come together at the festivities, with the pre-Hispanic faith subversively asserting itself against the Catholic faith. The resulting fusion shows the clash of two worlds, and the monarch butterfly accompanies us through the Fiesta de Día de Muertos in the theme year "Relationships of the Family". It stands for many families, for the loving connection to the deceased and the hope that their souls will find their way home every year during the festival of the dead.
