Oaxaca's calendar for the coming weeks is filled with events, ranging from the birthday of El Tule to the Day of the Dead parade. The ancient cypress outside the city is honored on 12 October with a dawn serenade, pre-Hispanic ritual, mass, and traditional dance. The city's main square hosts a free evening fair with tamales, bread, chocolate, and coffee.
On 31 October, a Day of the Dead parade kicks off at 18:00, featuring a comparsa, a contest for the best Catrina costume, and a concert. The rainy season continues in the Valles Centrales, so bring a light jacket for outdoor events. Entry fees for most events are not published, so it's best to confirm with the venue. The Day of the Dead celebrations run from 31 October to 2 November, with the main observances on 1 and 2 November. Hotel prices may rise during this period, so booking early is recommended.
