Overview
- The Gran Desfile runs roughly 8 km from the Puerta de los Leones in Chapultepec to the Zócalo via Reforma, Avenida Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo, featuring monumental floats, giant figures and thousands of participants.
- Authorities signaled possible temporary closure of Metro Zócalo/Tenochtitlán and adjustments on Metrobús lines 1, 3, 4 and 7, and advised drivers to use Circuito Interior, Eje 1 Norte, Avenida Chapultepec, José María Izazaga, Fray Servando Teresa de Mier and Eje 1 Oriente.
- City operations for Oct. 31–Nov. 2 include SSC deployments, ambulances, and C5 monitoring with 510 cameras across 108 cemeteries, plus extended visiting hours and on‑site guidance for panteón visitors.
- The Zócalo Mega Ofrenda and themed lighting remain on display through Nov. 2 only, after which the installation will be dismantled.
- Coverage reiterates that pan de muerto does not contain human ashes, though some modern variants use ash from dried corn husk, and notes U.S. observances from Los Angeles to New York as some localities cancel events over immigration‑enforcement fears.
