Join us for the 15th Annual Day of the Dead Celebration! Presented by: Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, The Puppet Network, and Damn Good Hospitality. Come and enjoy traditionally inspired music, dance, food, drinks, and face painting! This event invites the local community to celebrate a centuries old tradition and offers a taste of the pomp and circumstance that has inspired celebrations like this throughout the world!

The Day of the Dead Festival, hosted at Esplanade Park, will showcase traditional performances, larger than life puppets provided by our partners The Puppet Network, face painting, authentic cuisine, crafts, and more! The Day of the Dead Stroll will be a beautiful processional accompanied by incredible costumes, huge puppets, and festive spirits. The Stroll begins at Esplanade Park and ends along the New River using our beautiful Riverwalk to lead us back to the Festival grounds. The celebration continues on SW 3rd Avenue where Revolution Live is hosting the Day of the Dead Block Party! Keep the party going and “dance, dance, dance, ’till you’re dead” with even more music, fun, festivities, and enough libations to dance the night away.

Admission is free and the daytime festivities are fun for all ages!
