Communities across the United States held various events to observe Día de los Muertos. In late October, celebrations included a free community event at the Eiteljorg Museum featuring performances and artwork, as well as the fourth annual Día de Muertos Festival & Wellness Fair in Gilroy, California. These events utilized ofrendas and marigold decorations to explore Indigenous roots and history. Subsequent observations included a parade and festival organized by the Cazateatro Bilingual Theatre Group in Memphis, held in partnership with local museums and theaters to promote cross-cultural understanding. In San Jose, the Machu Picchu Gallery of the Americas hosted a special ofrenda where the public could contribute photographs of deceased loved ones to a communal display. As celebrations approach, financial sectors in Mexico and Guatemala have announced scheduled closures for November 2, 2026, to observe the holiday. In Mexico, the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) designated the date as a non-working day, meaning major institutions like BBVA México, Banorte, and Banamex will suspend in-person operations, though digital services and ATMs remain available. Similarly, Guatemala’s Monetary Board authorized the closure of banks, insurance companies, and exchange houses for All Saints' Day, though some agencies may offer limited services.
