Oakland’s 30th Annual Dia De Los Muertos Festival in Fruitvale (2025)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

For 30 years, the Oakland Día de los Muertos Festival has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors to the vibrant, culturally rich Fruitvale neighborhood for a free, outdoor, family-friendly celebration honoring the Mexican traditions of Día de los Muertos.

Each year, festival attendees enjoy world-class live music, family-friendly games, rides and activities, traditional Latin American artisans, and the breathtaking altares created by community members paying homage to los Muertos.

This year’s festival celebrates 30 years of tradition with the powerful theme “Aquí estamos y no nos vamos” — a declaration of resilience, unity, and cultural pride that continues to define the Fruitvale community.
