Mariachis, catrinas, and fire performers: Paris celebrates the liveliest Day of the Dead party of the year in its unique theme park, transformed into a little Mexico until November 2nd.

Want to travel to Mexico without leaving the capital? From Saturday, October 4, until November 2, the Jardin d’Acclimatation will be adorned with colorful flowers, calaveras (those famous stylized skulls), and vibrant decorations to celebrate El Día de los Muertos. The unique amusement park in central Paris is transforming to pay tribute to the departed joyfully, just as this famous Mexican tradition encourages, which is more festive than scary.


Halloween Invites Itself to the Heart of the Jardin d'Acclimatation

Hispanic music, majestic catrinas, dancers, fire artists, and a lively atmosphere: the immersion is complete. Inspired by ancestral traditions and popularized by the movie Coco from Pixar studios, this celebration blends memories, colors, flowers, and sweets like Pan de Muerto, successfully captivating a wide audience, both young and old. 


Folklore, sensations, and 100% Mexican delights!

For a whole month, the Garden will pulse with the rhythm of Mexican culture. Among the must-see highlights: the group « Arrieras Somos », an all-female mariachi band in traditional costumes, who bring a fresh twist to the greatest classics of Mexican music in a lively atmosphere. Starting from October 18, the fiery performances by the Dragonfly Company will electrify your evenings.

Shows on the Great Stage also set the tone for the day with performances at 1:30 PM, 2:15 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, and 5:30 PM. The highlight of the show? The Baile del Fuego followed by a grand festive parade at 6:30 PM, also on the Great Stage: a must-see moment!

The attractions also take on a carnival of the dead vibe: Giant Ferris Wheel, Enchanted River, Maya Temple, and the new Samba attraction (with its hot air balloons decorated with calaveras flowers) offer thrills and immersion. And to satisfy all appetites, a Mexican gourmet village sets up every Wednesday, weekend, and during school holidays. Fajitas, burritos, churros, and dulce de tres leches (three milk cake)... there will be something for every taste...
