The Media Centre’s Cultural Hub invites you to discover the colourful and warm world of Día de los Muertos, the famous Mexican Day of the Dead, in the company of Maria Fernanda, a resident of Giberville originally from Mexico. A far cry from the spine-chilling atmosphere of Halloween, this popular tradition pays tribute to those who have passed away in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere.

A musical welcome, the origins of the festival, and the symbolism of the altars and elements of the ofrenda
