Día de los Muertos celebrations in US cities
Overview
Residents in El Paso and San Diego are preparing for Día de los Muertos, a tradition focused on honoring deceased loved ones.
In El Paso, families create ofrendas, or altars, using photographs, marigolds, candles, and incense. These altars often include favorite foods, traditional sweet bread, and sometimes items for deceased pets.
In San Diego, La Vista Memorial Park is preparing for its annual celebration, a tradition held for nearly 20 years. The site is decorated with cempasúchil (marigolds), papel picado, and skull motifs. Organizers note that the scent of marigolds is believed to guide spirits back to their homes.
