This video, titled ‘Day of the Dead 2025,’ is on the City of Longmont’s own YouTube channel. The city’s Longmont Museum pages say the Día de Muertos exhibition and celebration has run since 2001, call it the longest-standing one in Colorado and say it draws more than 6,000 people a year.
Why now: the 2026 Family Celebration, which the city bills as the 26th anniversary, is Saturday, Oct. 24, in downtown Longmont, and it is free. We did not find this video on the city’s Day of the Dead page, so the tie to the city is the channel it sits on. We could not confirm when it was published or how long it runs, and we have not described its contents beyond the title. The practical details below come from the city’s pages and from Downtown Longmont’s event page, which the city links to.

Day of the Dead in Longmont, 2026
- Family Celebration: Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in downtown Longmont at 4th Avenue and Kimbark Street. Free. No street number is listed.
- What the city lists for the day: traditional live music and dance, face painting, sugar skull decorating, crafts, food trucks, a kids’ play zone, local vendors and a Gigantes Procession.
- Gigantes Procession: the city lists it as part of the Family Celebration without a time. Downtown Longmont’s page shows the Firehouse Art Center’s procession at 2 p.m., free, starting at the Fiesta, but the description under that line still carries a 2025 date. Treat the 2 p.m. time as unconfirmed for 2026 and check with the organizers before planning around it.
- Firehouse Art Center exhibitions: Oct. 10 to Nov. 2, 2026, Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., free, according to Downtown Longmont’s page. The address is not listed there.
- Noche de Museo: Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, 7 to 9 p.m., in the Stewart Auditorium at the Longmont Museum, 400 Quail Rd., Longmont, CO 80501. Reserved seating is $23, or $20 for members. The city describes an evening of live performance with Aztec dance from Grupo Azteca Tlahuitzcalli and music from the band iZCALLi.
- At home: the city points families to longmontdayofthedead.com for the history of the holiday, altars and offerings, crafts, regional traditions and food, and says a Spanish-language version is available.
- Details: City of Longmont’s Day of the Dead page and Downtown Longmont’s Day of the Dead page. Noche de Museo tickets: the city’s event page.
