The seventh edition of Calaverandia, Guadalajara’s annual Day of the Dead theme park, opens October 20 and runs nightly through early November.
Offering art, music, culture and gastronomy for all ages, this fantasy universe is dedicated entirely to the Mexican tradition of Día de Muertos. But rather than relying on traditional amusement park rides, it blends advanced technology, lighting installations, live theater and cultural installations to celebrate the holiday — with everything accessible along a 1.6-kilometer walking path.
Calaverandia occupies five hectares of Parque Ávila Camacho, located a few blocks from the Plaza Patria shopping mall. Opening hours are 7 p.m. to midnight Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday, and 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
It is closed on Mondays.
Organizers say Calaverandia has new and renovated attractions for its 2026 edition, including two new immersive zones, Omitlán and Limbo, that bring ancient folklore into the digital age through neon lights, mirrors and smoke.
There are also shows, such as “Alma and Taú: La Luz del Recuerdo,” that mix music and projection-mapping technology to tell visual stories about the heritage of the celebration.
At the center of the installation, a towering 15-meter-tall catrina rises over the park’s lake, while a giant altar stands in a central plaza.
