Oakland Cemetery was set to hold what it calls Atlanta's largest Dia de Muertos celebration, now in its fourth year, on Sunday, Nov. 1, from noon to 5 p.m., Rough Draft Atlanta reported. Admission was free. The Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta, the Institute of Mexican Culture and the Historic Oakland Foundation presented the day, with traditional dancing, music, Mexican food vendors, mausoleums decorated as ofrendas and a Catrin and Catrina costume contest with cash prizes.
