The 7th Annual Run with Los Muertos 5K[1] & Block Party is a unique and authentic Dia de Los Muertos evening celebration that will take place in Old Town Coachella.

The evening includes a traditional day of the dead processional, live music, a craft zone, art walk, and beer garden.

Event goers can view large-scale interactive art installations, Dia de Los Muertos altars, choose from the many delicious local food vendors, have a beer, or dance at one live music stages.

Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead, a long standing Latino holiday with indigenous roots dating back to Aztec times, has taken its place in mainstream culture boasting festivities worldwide.

“Día de los Muertos transcends the once a year celebration. It’s a way to honor the dead… celebrate the living,” said Rodríguez, Visionary Cultural Arts Advocate and Creator of MARIACHI USA, a festival that achieved its 25 year milestone at the legendary Hollywood Bowl this year.

Though traditions may slightly differ among cultures, the holiday (typically taking place from Oct.31-Nov. 2) commemorates the dead and brings families together in enjoyment of life.
