A traditional Mexican celebration titled Dia de los Muertos en Ogden is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026, at the Ogden Amphitheater. According to an announcement from OFOAM, the event serves as a celebration of life, memory, and community.
The celebration is set to take place from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM at 343 E 25th Street in Ogden. The festivities will include activities such as mariachi, live music, danza, and student art. Attendees can explore ofrendas and altars, including a special Pet Altar hosted by The Golden Bark Foundation to honor beloved animals.
Local entrepreneurs and makers can be found at the Mercadito hosted by La Buena Vida Utah. The event also features a Car Show and Altars presented in partnership with GoodTimes Car Club UT. Food from local vendors will also be available during the celebration.
The event draws inspiration from the traditions of Michoacán, Mexico, and seeks to provide a space for the community to learn about the meaningful tradition. Organizers noted that the celebration is an opportunity for families and neighbors to come together to keep the stories of loved ones alive.
