<h3 style="text-align: center;">Day of the Dead Callejoneada: &ldquo;Recordar es Amar&rdquo;</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Mazatl&aacute;n, Day of the Dead is a celebration of memories, music, and the traditions that bring generations together. On November 1, 2026, the city&rsquo;s traditional Callejoneada returned under the theme &ldquo;Recordar es Amar&rdquo; (To Remember Is to Love), turning the Historic Center into a vibrant setting for honoring loved ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More than 60,000 residents and visitors joined the celebration, including families dressed as Catrinas and Catrines who came together to enjoy the performances, discover the altars, and experience one of Mazatl&aacute;n&rsquo;s most distinctive cultural traditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Celebration That Brought Mazatl&aacute;n Together</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The festivities began around the iconic Teatro &Aacute;ngela Peralta and Plazuela Machado, where live performances set the tone for the evening. From there, the procession made its way along Constituci&oacute;n Street toward Paseo Olas Altas, continued through Sixto Osuna and Venus, and concluded near Belisario Dom&iacute;nguez.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along the route, families and friends filled the streets, stopping to watch artistic presentations, listen to Sinaloan banda music, and admire the creativity of the participants. More than 1,000 people contributed to the festivities, including artists, students, teachers, and event collaborators.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Monumental Figures, Catrinas, and Sinaloan Banda</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the highlights were 10 monumental mojigangas, the larger-than-life traditional figures created by students and professors from the Industrial Design program at the Universidad Aut&oacute;noma de Sinaloa (UAS). Their colorful designs added movement and personality to the procession.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The parade also featured comparsas, monumental Catrinas, elaborately dressed Catrines, and performers who filled the Historic Center with color. The unmistakable sound of Sinaloan banda music accompanied the festivities, connecting the celebration to Mazatl&aacute;n&rsquo;s musical identity.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Music, Altars, and Performances in the Historic Center</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The celebration extended beyond the procession. Outdoor stages featured live music and tributes to beloved artists including Lola Beltr&aacute;n, Jos&eacute; Alfredo Jim&eacute;nez, and Juan Gabriel, while a rock stage in the Olas Altas area added another musical experience to the evening.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Traditional Day of the Dead altars appeared throughout the Historic Center, and fire performances brought additional energy to the festivities. At Teatro &Aacute;ngela Peralta, music, dance, and theatrical presentations offered another way to celebrate the lives and legacies of those who are remembered.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Remembering with Joy, Together as a Family</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What made &ldquo;Recordar es Amar&rdquo; special was the atmosphere shared by people of all ages. Children, parents, grandparents, locals, and visitors experienced a night full of music and celebration, while keeping the deeper meaning of D&iacute;a de Muertos at its heart: remembering those we love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Events like the Callejoneada show another side of Mazatl&aacute;n beyond its beaches. For travelers staying with El Cid Resorts, discovering the city&rsquo;s traditions, cultural landmarks, and lively Historic Center adds another dimension to a vacation on Mexico&rsquo;s Pacific coast.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Mazatl&aacute;n, Where Traditions Bring People Together</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With &ldquo;Recordar es Amar,&rdquo; Mazatl&aacute;n once again showed that Day of the Dead is not only about looking back. It is also about coming together, celebrating shared memories, and keeping Mexican traditions alive for the next generation.</p>
