Soledad Plans Fourth Annual Día de los Muertos Celebration on November 2

SOLEDAD, Monterey County — October 27, 2026. The City of Soledad has scheduled its fourth annual Día de los Muertos celebration for Monday, November 2, from 5 to 8 p.m., according to the official municipal activities calendar.

Meaning of the celebration

Día de los Muertos brings families together to honor and remember loved ones who have died. The Mexican and Latin American cultural tradition can include ofrendas, art, music and community activities. It is distinct from Halloween, even though events occur close together on the calendar.

The city’s preview invites the public to celebrate culture and remembrance. The summary does not specify every performance, vendor, admission detail or final event layout. Check the city calendar for current location, access and any conditions before traveling.

Why calendar accuracy matters

Soledad also lists Spookfest on October 31 and other public events in early November. These are separate occasions. Businesses and families planning travel should use event-specific timing and avoid treating a monthly calendar block as a real-time closure notice.
