We loved checking out the altars and the catrina statues (the traditional female skeletons you see everywhere) as well as walking through the markets buying our own sugar-skull candies and papel picado (the traditional paper-cut bunting you see everywhere). In Oaxaca, the main plaza (zocalo) is truly a focal point for festivities and over the days leading up to the 31st there will be school groups, churches and other groups with their own marching bands leading processions towards the plaza. If you want to see the altars, you’ll need to head to the main plaza on the official ofrenda day (probably the Saturday before the celebrations) or to walk the Paseo de las Ánimas from the main cemetery to the centre of town. Get your face painted, grab a snack and a drink and meander through Merida, checking out the ofrendas outside people’s homes and listening to the live music.

There are official ear sets at the parks during the Halloween party for those who want the official Disney ones, but if you want something unique, these guys are magical. We love them and think anyone would feel stylish and in tune with their Halloween love wearing these to a party, to the Parks, or just lounging at home.
