🌼 Día de Muertos in the Marolles: a colourful tribute to life and remembrance 🌼
Last night, an impressive procession wound its way through the streets of Brussels' Marolles district. This was no ordinary parade, but a heart-warming tribute to our deceased loved ones, inspired by the Mexican tradition of Día de Muertos. For the eighth time, this festival brought people together – young and old, from all walks of life – to collectively remember, celebrate and create.
What began as an initiative by local residents grew into a multidisciplinary event: from workshops and concerts to a collective altar where hundreds of people left photos, candles and personal mementos. In this way, the dead are honoured in a manner befitting Brussels: colourful, open and multicultural.
Día de Muertos shows how traditions transcend boundaries. It connects cultures, generations and stories – and reminds us that remembering itself is a form of living.
