Theme: “La Lucha Continúa: Aquí estamos y no nos vamos”

We’re proud to celebrate 31 years of honoring life, memory, and community at the Fruitvale Día de los Muertos Festival, taking place on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 10 AM to 5 PM in Fruitvale Village. This year’s theme, “La Lucha Continúa: Aquí estamos y no nos vamos“ (The Struggle Continues: We are here and we’re not leaving), builds upon the affirmation we made to our community last year. Rooted in the histories of civil rights, immigrant justice, and community organizing movements, it reflects the ongoing struggle for dignity, belonging, and the right to remain rooted in the places we call home. La lucha continua!
