Has Anyone Heard if Oaxaca City will Cancel Day of the Dead 2020?
Like others I’m sure, I booked flights and hotels to travel to Oaxaca City for Dia de Los Muertos long before COVID. I haven’t been able to find any information as to whether Oaxaca will cancel this year’s festivities. I would think that at a minimum, they’d be scaled back considerably.
Has anyone heard anything? |
MinnBeef, post your question on TA. There's an expat participant, Alvin Starkman of Mezcal Tours, who will give you an answer if there is one.

Bumping this up for the link to stay connected on developments regarding Muertos 2021.

I know for Puerto Vallarta for 2020 nothing was announced one way or the other until much closer to November (altars were put up but gathering/events were cancelled).

I hope that the touristy type of "festivities" oriented to the gringo tourists are cancelled, since they are not very far along in their vaccination program. Don't really need crowds parading through the outlying villages.

If you read the updates on the forum linked above you'll find that the villages are better at taking care of themselves than most places (Florida?) and have closed themselves to tourists.
Even though Oaxaca City was too full of aging (and young mezcal drinking) gringos when I visited just before the world shut down, I enjoyed the two days with my Zapotec guide from Teotitlan del Valle including going up to the Sierra for a day. As far as I know he is not doing tours now. On a side note, I doubt that the environmental impact wrought by commercial mezcal production is widely known to the hipster cohort. |
