Día de los Muertos

Día de los Muertos comes to the Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center (ALAC) on Saturday, October 31, 2026. It's a celebration of the holiday held at the center's downtown Phoenix location, 147 E Adams St, and it runs from 4 PM to 11 PM.

If you're not familiar, Día de los Muertos is the traditional Mexican holiday dedicated to remembering and honoring ancestors and loved ones who have passed. It's a day for families to gather and keep those memories alive, and that's exactly what the ALAC is doing with this event. The center's focus is on the Latino arts and culture of the Southwest, so it's a natural fit for a holiday that's so central to the region's heritage.

Because it's on October 31, it falls right on Halloween, which is a convenient coincidence if you're already planning to be out that night. The celebration stretches across seven hours, from late afternoon well into the evening, so you can drop in whenever works for you—whether you want to spend the whole evening there or just stop by for a bit. The ALAC is right in the heart of downtown, so it's easy to pair with other plans in the area.

Admission is free, so there's no ticket to worry about. The event runs from 4 PM to 11 PM on Saturday, October 31, at the Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center, 147 E Adams St, Phoenix.
