Mexico’s Day of the Dead is right around the corner. But death is not something to be feared on this holiday. In Riviera Nayarit it’s the time of year that feels most alive.

Sayulita – one of Riviera Nayarit’s Pueblos Mágicos or Magical Towns, comes to life with festivals to remember and revere the dead. Families gather at gravesides to celebrate the lives of deceased loved ones. Carpets of marigold line hundreds of altars in tribute to those who are no longer with us.
As the festivities reach full swing, mariachi bands, sombreros and skeletons flood the streets. Some well-known local artists, from the Huichol to the hipsters of Revolucion del Sueño, create elaborate yet traditional altars adorned in festive crafts and crepe paper.
Meanwhile, this authentic Pacific seaside town reveals a world decorated in calacas. These iconic symbols are depicted as joyous rather than mournful. They are commonly seen as carved skull masks worn by revellers, figures made of wood or clay, or as candies eaten by relatives and friends.
Besides all the fun, you can’t beat the weather this time of year. There’s hardly any rain, low humidity and everything blooms along the coast. As the celebration hits its stride, the fragrance of flowers, candles and incense fills the autumn air. Walking from the central plaza to the cemetery is especially magical on a warm evening.

What is a Magical Town?
The Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) designation is awarded by the Mexican government to those communities that have maintained their original traditions, history, culture and architecture over the time. Magical Towns are places with great symbolism and legends that connect visitors to Mexico’s essence.
