/ / DAY OF THE DEAD / /
Every year on the 2nd November, Mexico celebrates the Day of The Dead, a celebration that is also celebrated in Latin America and other cultures and that recently has spread to the whole World.
This holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey.
The Mexican Day of the Dead celebration is similar to other culture's observances of a time to honor the dead. The Spanish tradition included festivals and parades, as well as gatherings of families at cemeteries to pray for their deceased loved ones at the end of the day.
It is also a celebration of Life and to remember that we are still here and should enjoy our time with our beloved ones!
So… let’s celebrate Life in the best possible way with a Mexican style party!

Did we mention that Retropolis has a 1950's tram that will be transformed into a haunted Mexican Cantina?
We're partnering with The Tequila & Mezcal Festival to offer you this incredible experience.
We take pride in sharing that some of these beverages can't be found in any other bar or Mexican restaurant across Australia. Many of them are limited small batches, and there's a chance you might never come across them again!
Tickets will surely go fast, so don't delay – secure yours ASAP!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Only over 18's event.
Please note:
This is an authentic Mexican event, carefully put together by Mexicans, featuring Mexican performers. We deeply value and take immense pride in our cultural roots, and we're thrilled to share them with all who join us.
While we wholeheartedly appreciate how diverse cultures embrace our celebrations (and we enthusiastically participate in theirs), if you're looking for an unfiltered, genuine experience, this is the one event you absolutely must not miss.
