Tour of Altars

It dates back to the early 1800’s and is the resting place for many famous people. The Day of the Dead celebration began in Old Town in 2012.

Rememberance

Therefore, our primary focus of the celebration is also on the altars. You will find over 40 Old Town businesses, museums, and historic sites that are participating in the event.”
