Day of the Dead is celebrated in Merida for 3 days. In the town square (Zocala) many families set up altars for their deceased loved ones. Laid out on this altar is a display of personal possessions and favorite food of the father. In some parts of Mexico the families will spend the day at the graveyard cleaning up around the grave and eating a picnic. A little something for everyone!
