Activities

After a year of hard work, Xcaret is hosting different artistic expressions in a journey through the Day of the Dead traditions, reflected through the unique style each artist imprints on their art on this special date in Mexico.

Secondary venues

The 2025 Festival of Life and Death Traditions has an official secondary venue: Playa del Carmen City Theater. Hotel Xcaret México, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa will be official venues from October 29th to November 3rd, with several artists performing at this spectacular venue.
