From 30 October to 1 November 2026, DumBO hosts the sixth edition of the Mexican Culture Festival Viva la Vida! three days to discover a tradition in which death is not only absence, but memory, encounter and, above all, a powerful celebration of life.
For its sixth edition, DumBO once again transforms into a small corner of Mexico: colours, music, food, scents, altars, Catrinas and traditions will accompany us on a journey into a vibrant, profound and incredibly fascinating culture.
Three days to enjoy:
- Traditional Mexican music and live concerts
- Cumbia and DJ sets
- Mariachi
- Traditional and pre-Hispanic dances
- Catrinas and traditional costumes
- Workshops for adults and children
- Activities dedicated to the Altar de Muertos
- Meetings, stories and insights into Mexican culture
- Cinema and screenings
- Shows and performances
- Authentic flavours of Mexican cuisine
- Tequila, mezcal, cocktails and bebidas
- And much more!
A festival to remember those who are no longer with us by celebrating what they have left behind.
A festival to meet, discover a culture different from our own, eat, dance, create and spend time together.
