Día de Muertos festival in Prague: Holešovice market, 5 November 2026

The Holešovická tržnice (Prague Market) in Holešovice holds its Día de Muertos festival, a celebration of the Mexican Day of the Dead, on Thursday 5 November 2026. The gastro zone on the market's Tržní náměstí and the eastern corso runs from 11:00 to 22:00 with free entry, and the market's Hall 13 opens as a Mexican marketplace, also free. Hall 11 hosts a separate children's programme for CZK 100 per person.

Visitors can expect food stalls with Mexican specialities such as tacos, quesadillas and churros, DJ sets, mariachi musicians, stilt performers, a festival parade through the venue and the traditional Ofrenda altar. Hall 13 adds Mexican products, workshops and face painting, while Hall 11 runs a children's carnival.

What it means for your trip

• Free entry to the gastro zone and the Hall 13 marketplace; only the Hall 11 children's carnival charges, at CZK 100 per person.
• The gastro zone runs from 11:00 to 22:00, so it works for an afternoon or an evening visit.
• The venue is the Holešovická tržnice (Prague Market) in Holešovice.
• Expect more people around meal times and during the parade; the Ofrenda altar is quieter earlier in the afternoon.
• It is a one-day event: everything wraps up on the evening of 5 November 2026.
