When and where will Mexico City’s Pan de Muerto Festival take place?

The Artisanal Coffee, Chocolate and More Festival will return to Mexico City with an edition devoted to pan de muerto, offering everything from traditional loaves to elaborate filled versions.

More than 100 exhibitors from 12 Mexican states will gather at the event, bringing coffee, chocolate, jams, sauces, preserves, pastries, and other gourmet and specialty products. The pan de muerto selection will include versions with sugar and cinnamon, puff pastry and sesame, chocolate, amaranth, sourdough and orange, and totomoxtle ash with sweet potato.

Visitors can also find loaves filled with blackberry and cheese, cream, chocolate, pastry cream, Nutella, rice pudding, or guava and cheese. Other offerings include pan de muerto macarons with chocolate and mandarin, “calbaconchas,” artisanal cookies with anise and orange, and sweets inspired by Halloween characters Sally and Jack.

The festival will also feature alfajores, fruit and cheese pies, and banana, carrot, and chocolate cakes. Workshops will cover artisanal cookie decoration, chocolate making, and painting a ceramic catrina. The program includes contests for catrinas and the best pan de muerto, along with raffles and other surprises.

The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, and Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, at Jalapa 38 in Roma Norte, Cuauhtémoc borough. Admission is free, but food, drinks, and workshops carry a charge. With Día de Muertos approaching, the traditional Mexican bread will take center stage at the event.
