Salinas MILPA Día de los Muertos Celebration Set for November 1 at Ensen Park

SALINAS, Calif. — October 28, 2026. Families planning to commemorate Día de los Muertos can find a locally organized gathering in Salinas on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 2 to 5 p.m.

The City of Salinas events calendar lists the MILPA Día de los Muertos community celebration at Ensen Park, 99 La Posada Drive, Salinas. The published description includes community altars, art activities, crafts and food, with an emphasis on remembrance and cultural connection.

What makes this a local community event

Day of the Dead traditions offer space to honor departed loved ones, share memories and bring families together. The city calendar describes MILPA’s program as a community gathering. It does not specify the full performance lineup, parking arrangements or an exhaustive admission policy, so participants should check current organizer information for those details.

This November 1 gathering is different from the October 30 Recuérdame celebration in Castroville and the November 2 programs held elsewhere in the county. California58 maintains one article per event rather than republishing the same notice in every Monterey County newspaper.

Plan and verify

See the City of Salinas community events calendar for the MILPA November 1 listing and any revisions. Guests should check park and weather conditions close to the event. If activities or times change, we will update this article.

Editorial note: This is a planned event, not confirmation that the celebration has already taken place or a statement of verified attendance.
