Día de los Muertos

Join us in Old Town Albuquerque for a vibrant celebration of Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a cherished tradition that reunites the living and the dead in a joyous way. Unlike other holidays, this one isn’t about mourning; it’s about celebrating the lives, accomplishments, and memories of our departed loved ones.

Church Street Cafe is celebrating the Day of the Dead all week long with Old Town traditions from October 25th, 2024 – November 4th, 2024

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Old Town with colorful altars, traditional foods, and the warmth of a community gathering to celebrate life and memory. Whether you’re here to enjoy our famous New Mexican cuisine or simply take part in the local traditions, we invite you to join us and make memories of your own!
