Día de Los Muertos Fiesta at Plaza Bonita

Get ready for a burst of color, music, and tradition as Westfield Plaza Bonita transforms into a vibrant celebration of Dia de los Muertos!

Plaza Bonita Dia de los Muertos

Rhythm of the Ancestors

Imagine the thunderous beats of Aztec dancers filling the air, their feathered headdresses a blur of motion as they connect us to ancient traditions.

And just when you think it can’t get any better, the soul-stirring melodies of a live Mariachi band will have you tapping your toes and feeling the spirit of Mexico right here in San Diego.

Westfield Plaza Bonita

Fun for All Ages

This isn’t just a “stand and watch” kind of day. There’ll be heaps of family fun with face painting that’ll transform kiddos (and adventurous adults) into colorful calaveras. And keep your eyes peeled for roaming stilt walkers who’ll bring a touch of whimsy to the festivities.

Surprises Around Every Corner

Plaza Bonita is pulling out all the stops with pop-up performances scattered throughout the center. It’s like a treasure hunt of entertainment—you never know what delightful surprise you’ll stumble upon next!

Plaza Bonita Dia de los Muertos

This is more than just a party—it’s a chance to immerse ourselves in the rich traditions of Día de Los Muertos. It’s about honoring our loved ones who’ve passed on while celebrating the vibrant life we share together.

See You There!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 19, from 1 PM to 5 PM at Westfield Plaza Bonita. The event is completely free and open to everyone! To secure your spot, snag a mobile e-ticket here.
