On Friday, October 30th, step into a living expression of Day of the Dead through one of its most meaningful elements: bread—a symbol of life, death, nature, and continuity.
This 6.5 to 7-hour experience, carried out by oaxaqueñas and oaxaqueños, begins with a traditional Oaxacan breakfast shared upon arrival, setting the tone for a day rooted in community and conversation. From there, local hosts guide you through the significance of bread within the altar—why it is offered, what it represents, and how it connects the living with those who have passed.
With no prior experience needed, you’ll decorate a locally made bread by hand, using symbols that reflect the cycles of life, death, and the natural world. This is not a performance or a demonstration—you are an active participant in a tradition that has been passed down through generations. Your finished bread becomes a personal offering, one you’ll take with you as a tangible memory of the experience.
The day concludes as it should in Oaxaca: gathered together, sharing stories and flavors during a mezcal tasting prepared by our hosts, where agave, land, and craftsmanship come together in each sip.
This experience is intimate, dynamic, and deeply human—created and led by locals who live this tradition every year, and who open their doors for you to experience it from the inside.
