Celebrando Día de los Muertos en La Villita
Enjoy the “Day of the Dead” weekend celebration supporting our businesses at the heart of Little Village, beating with tradition, color, and remembrance.
The Little Village Chamber of Commerce invites you to “Xempasúchil,” a special two-day event celebrating the spirit of Día de los Muertos.
Stroll through our streets and discover the magic:
- Traditional Ofrendas (Altars) at local businesses
- Live Catrinas & Catrines at local stores
- Free traditional food & drinks
