Overview
- The Gran Desfile sets off from Puerta de los Leones at 2:00 p.m. and proceeds along Reforma, Avenida Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo to the Zócalo.
- Organizers tout carrozas monumentales, giant catrinas, alebrijes, marionettes and dozens of comparsas, with reports of roughly 8,000 participants.
- Authorities prepared transit adjustments, including a possible closure of Metro Zócalo/Tenochtitlan and Metrobús changes on Lines 1, 3, 4 and 7, with suggested alternates such as Circuito Interior and Eje 1 Norte.
- Cemeteries across the capital extended visiting hours for the holiday, and the C5 installed 510 cameras in 108 panteones to reinforce security.
- Official installations remain temporary, with the Zócalo Mega Ofrenda and special lighting open through November 2, and U.S. observances continue in cities like New York and Los Angeles, including some local cancellations tied to immigration‑policy concerns.
