Canoga Park, CA --  Dia de los Muertos Festival (Day of the Dead Festival) is an annual event that is quite popular in California. In some regions the Hispanic population is around 50 percent, and the popular events and traditions celebrated in other countries become part of the cultural fiber of places such as Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Ventura where Hispanic populations embrace such celebrations.

Canoga Park hosts an annual Day of the Dead event with live music, a procession to a church, a blessing, and many religious and non-religious events and activities.

This annual street festival is a blend of traditional and cultural activities produced by Main Street Canoga Park. Dia de los Muertos celebrates ancient Mexican and Central American traditions of paying homage to loved ones who have passed on. Festivities are continuous all day in historic Downtown Canoga Park. The festival has art and craft vendors, international foods, artists’ exhibits, altar displays, a children’s art pavilion, classic car show and a Chalk Festival mural competition.
