The fab ¡VAMOS! Festival presents an amazing fancy dress Day of the Dead extravaganza on November 1, packed with a host of Latino foodie treats.
During the day (2pm-6pm) there’s a family-friendly programme with Mexican wrestling, games, films, Piñata, and food. In the evening (7pm-12am), there’s more Mexican wrestling, live music, DJs, films, food, and the Day of the Dead Barber (the mind boggles!).
The foodie offering includes a Latin market and it’s all happening at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle, which will be transformed into a feast of vibrant tropical colour and gothic charm.
The popular tradition of Day of the Dead or ‘Día de Muertos’ originates from Mexico and sees families all over Latin America celebrate loved ones who have passed away. Who knew?
