There will be a Memory Path for anyone who would like to write a message to their loved ones, get creative and decorate a small square with a message or their name in chalk.

Traditional food will be available including tamales, churros, aguas frescas, raspados, elotes, Pan de Muerto, café, chocolate caliente, tostilocos, and more.

Musicians will be walking around the cemetery offering their songs for a small fee, just like it is traditionally done in Latin America, no big speakers or audio.
