TULUM, Mexico - They’ll be cooking up something special on the Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos in Tulum, Mexico, where the holiday will be celebrated with a six-day food festival and workshop.

Despite its gloomy-sounding name, Dia de los Muertos is celebrated joyfully with food and drink in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Typically, family members and friends invite their deceased loved ones to return for an annual visit during the holiday, Nov. 1 and 2, cooking special foods and placing them on makeshift altars in homes and cemeteries to entice the spirits of the dead to return.

In Tulum, the holiday will be marked Oct. 29 through Nov. 4 by the Dia de los Muertos Food Workshop 2013.
