| Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) October 30 - November 2nd, 2009 |
| This important Mexican cultural and traditional holiday occurs on November 2nd, but will be observed this year from October 30th to November 2nd. The event has similarities with Memorial Day observed in the U.S. - through the weekend, hundreds will go to the Panteon (cemetery), to decorate and tend to the graves of loved ones. Following the belief that the departed return for a visit, families will construct an altar filled with memories of the departed, and featuring favorite foods and drink for the dead to enjoy. On Friday, October 30, 2009, beginning at 7:30 a.m. students will build and display traditional altars in the 6 de Abril plaza. Then, at 4:00 p.m. the students and their teachers will walk from Pueblo Viejo to the plaza, where they will discuss the tradition.
