Quintana Roo's government says Cozumel will stage the second edition of its Día de Muertos festival, “Tradición, luz y reencuentro,” on 23–25 October at the Museo de la Isla. Activities are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., and admission is free.
The programme includes an altar, the lighting of the museum mural, video mapping, a procession, live arts performances, dance, theatre and a Catrina contest. The event is designed around remembrance as well as public cultural activities.
This year's edition will pay tribute to Michoacán. Organizers also highlight Hanal Pixán, the Maya tradition of preparing food and offerings for the souls of the departed, connecting the festival to the peninsula's own heritage.
The state announcement says the 2025 edition drew more than 2,000 people, giving organizers a recent local benchmark as they prepare the return.
Visitors should check the government or museum channels for final programme details before travelling; the announced dates are 23–25 October and the listed activities are free.
