Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), is celebrated in Mexico and (a bit less commonly) in Central American countries to honor the deceased. Known to be celebrated by many Mexican Americans in the United States, the day's roots stem from both Indigenous and Spanish Catholic customs.
Celebrated on November 1st and November 2nd, the way the Día de los Muertos is celebrated has changed over the years. (NMAM).
