The municipal government of Isla Mujeres, led by Mayor Atenea Gómez Ricalde, has initiated the Day of the Dead celebrations with The Callejoneada. This event is a vibrant parade along the famous Hidalgo Street, filled with music, joy, and enthusiasm. The parade is part of the Arrival of the Spirits program and signifies the start of the fourth edition of the Light and Life Festival "Among the Living and the Dead".
Various departments of the Municipality participated in The Callejoneada. Participants, dressed as Skulls, Monks, Witches, and Catrinas, all in black, paraded down Hidalgo Street. This street is a popular tourist spot, and the parade concluded at the Municipal Esplanade.
