The festival characterized by revelers donning theatrical costumes in celebration of the Day of the Dead is known as Día de los Muertos. This vibrant celebration, primarily observed in Mexico, incorporates colorful skull decorations and costumes that symbolize the connection between the living and the deceased. Participants often create ofrendas (altars) adorned with favorite foods, photographs, and flowers, particularly marigolds, to honor their departed loved ones. The festival focuses on celebrating life and remembering those who have passed away, making it a time of joy rather than sorrow.
