Souls from our History will visit the 5th Life and Death Traditions Festival

The 5th Life and Death Traditions Festival will present a wide ranging programme of events and activities that will contribute towards recovering, promoting and offering information about Mexican history and traditions, and specially, about the Mayan culture.

Next October 30 and 31, and November 1 and 2, 2010, Xcaret will be a mosaic of colours and traditions that, in the context of the celebration of the Independence Bicentennial,  the Centennial of the Revolution and the Day of the Dead or All Saints Day (Hanal Pixán), will offer an extensive  program of activities that will include everything from traditional altars and prayers to historical and literary discussions, community theatre, traditional dances, handcrafts, culinary  and visual arts exhibitions, as well as concerts.

This year Chiapas will be the special guest at this traditional celebration dedicated to the faithful who have passed away, under the title “200 years of Life and Death”. Thus Xcaret park is ready to celebrate this beautiful Festival, where, as in each edition, the main attraction will be the promotion of the arts and traditions of Mexico.
