Officials report cemeteries cleaned, inspected, staffed for the Nov. 1–2 peak.

Overview

  • Tijuana projects 200,000 to 300,000 visitors across 14 municipal cemeteries, with hours from 8:00 to 16:00 and on-site staff remaining until 18:00.
  • Tlajomulco expects more than 50,000 visitors at 16 cemeteries open from 8:00 to 20:00, supported by a deployment of over 250 police, emergency and mobility personnel.
  • Tijuana completed intensive maintenance this month, removing 50 tonnes of waste, cleaning about 50,000 square meters, clearing 24,000 square meters of weeds and pruning 167 trees.
  • Tlajomulco’s Civil Protection cordoned roughly 170 risky crypts and removed four wasp nests, while vector-control teams carried out fumigation and larvicide work from Oct. 25 to 30.
  • Authorities prohibit alcoholic beverages in both municipalities, allow food consumption in Tlajomulco and will provide internal transport within Tijuana’s largest cemeteries; San Juan Evangelista hosts the Festival Mictlán from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
