A seasonal celebration for Dia de los Muertos takes place each fall at Disney California Adventure: Plaza de la Familia! This annual event — which will run fromĀ August 23rd through November 2nd, 2024 — offers live music and entertainment, interactive activities, special menu items and novelty souvenirs (like POPCORN BUCKETS!), and vibrant decorations.
These elements and more come togetherĀ “to celebrate the everlasting bonds of family and the spirit of the Mexican tradition of DĆa de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.”
A Musical Celebration of ‘Coco’
Don’t miss the Storytellers of the Plaza de la Familia as they present A Musical Celebration of Coco! Enjoy the story of Disney and Pixar’s Coco through live performances of songs from the film and Ā folklĆ³rico dancers in authentic costumes.
The Mariachi Divas are often part of the show which takes place several times throughout the day.
Even Miguel joins in the storytelling, as he appears as a “hand-animated dimensional figure” to delight guests during the performance!
Special Cuisine
Along with other treats, a special Mexican menu is often featured at Paradise Garden Grill!Ā
The specialty snacks extend to locations all around the park.
And novelty items like this stunning Coco sipper from 2023 are up for grabs, as well!
Artwork and Activities
Don’t forget to take your picture with Miguel by a mural named āRecuĆ©rdameā (āRemember Meā)!
Additional photo opportunities are available at the Mexican Tree of Life, or āĆrbol de la Vida,” a beautiful piece inspired by Mexican folk art pottery.
Guests can also create a paper alebrije (spirit guide) mask of Pepita or Dante from Coco!
Guests may also take a moment to honor and remember family and friends in their lives who have passed away by leaving a note on the Memory Wall.
