Municipal president Adolfo Cerqueda Rebollo reported that this edition will have an extensive cultural, artistic and recreational program that seeks to turn the municipality into an epicenter of traditional expression during the season of the dead.

“In Neza we celebrate life through remembrance, and these activities unite us as a community. They allow us to pay tribute to those who are no longer physically present, but are still present in our hearts,” said Cerqueda during the official announcement.

Catrinas, cinema, horror and tradition

Among the featured activities are the now traditional caravans of catrinas and catrines, which will travel through the main avenues of the municipality on three different routes:
