The month-long activation, taking place Oct. 1 through Nov. 3, will recognize this culturally rich Latin American tradition culminating with a free community event on Saturday, Nov. 2.

Starting Tuesday, Oct. 1, CityPlace Doral will be vibrantly decorated with gorgeous colorful Dia de Los Muertos-themed decorations through Nov. 2. At the main entrance, guests will be welcomed by a wooden calavera (sugar skull) and colorful Marigolds overhead. Sugar skulls will be displayed throughout City Place Doral and the Fountain Plaza will be ornamented with an altar display of a trio catrines (male skeleton figures) with flowers, Marigolds and more. All items are hand-crafted by Artistic Elves.

The main Day of the Dead event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m., where children and families can enjoy face painting, food sampling from local restaurants and a center-wide processional with performances by folkloric dancers, stilt walkers, mariachis and costumed characters. The Baila Conmigo Kids Dance School will host a special youth performance. Guests can also shop and stroll the “El Mercado” night market, a marketplace for people and their pets.

Furry friends are encouraged to meet up at CityPlace Doral’s City Bark dog park. Decorated with fun photo moments, a doghouse, dog bone and a fire hydrant, City Bark is a paws-itively good time. There are also four pet waste stations located conveniently throughout the property.

Guests and pets are encouraged to dress in Day of the Dead theme.
