Cozy Movie Marathon
If you’re both homebodies, enjoy a cozy night in with warm blankets, candles, and your favorite comfort foods like pozole or atole–yum! Watch classic fall movies or Halloween thrillers, and add a Latin twist with movies like Coco or La Llorona.
Día de los Muertos Altar Building
Spend the evening creating a beautiful Día de los Muertos ofrenda (altar) together, honoring loved ones while learning about each other’s families and traditions. Decorate with meaningful elements like flor de cempasúchil, papel picado, pan de muerto, photographs, and more.
Outdoor Fall Festival
Find local festivals in your area, such as Oktoberfest, Día de los Muertos celebrations, or local food, arts, and crafts events. Look for cultural festivals that celebrate the season with music, dance, and traditions.
Farmers Market
Spend a calm day at your local farmers market on the hunt for seasonal produce like pumpkins, squashes, and other spices. Choose a dish you can cook together with the fresh produce and enjoy the simple flavors and pleasures of life together.
