Día de Meurtos Festival, Mexico City

Posted by benmarshall1 29 June 2006

Forget trick or treat. Mexicans celebrate The Day of the Dead (Día de Meurtos) in outrageous style in remembrance of their dead relatives.
Living Room gay club is packed out most weekends, but especially worth a visit for the festival. This former church is busting at the altar with fire-eaters, monsters on stilts and house tunes louder than any male voice choir.
Arrive early to enjoy the queue and check out some of the city's hottest guys and girls.
