Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festivities are happening across San Diego County. The holiday, which has roots in Mexico, honors loved ones who have died and is typically observed around Nov. 1, which is also All Saints Day. Families build ofrendas (altars) displaying photos and favorite foods and other items in honor of a loved one who has died. Bright orange marigolds, dancing skeletons, sugar skulls and sweet pan de muerto (bread of the dead) along with music and dancing are part of the festivities. Here are some Día de los Muertos community celebrations.
