Long Beach市亡灵节大庆典11月1日在Rainbow Lagoon举行：下午1时至7时免费入场，市府接手主办、不设游行
位于加州洛杉矶县的 Long Beach 市，年度亡灵节大庆典（Día de los Muertos Grand Festival）将于 11 月 1 日（星期日）下午 1 时至 7 时在市中心 Rainbow Lagoon（400 E. Shoreline Dr.）举行，免费入场。活动由 Long Beach 市政府与第一区市议员 Mary Zendejas 办公室主办，现场安排有文艺表演、美食餐车与资源博览会，邀社区居民一同纪念逝去的亲人。
这项庆典去年曾停办一年。据 Long Beach Post 报道，去年市府出于谨慎取消了包括游行在内的全部亡灵节活动，称当时听到社区对联邦移民执法行动的真实担忧；今年庆典以较小规模回归，且不再设游行。庆典始于 2014 年，2022 年起加入游行环节，花车、老爷车、舞蹈马匹与民俗芭蕾曾吸引全地区数以万计的观众；2022 至 2024 年，节庆部分由私人机构 Grand Parade Día De Los Muertos Inc. 承办、游行由市府筹办，该机构今年不再承办后，市府全面接手节庆主办。市府发言人 Laath Martin 表示，市议会已批准把去年游行未动用的经费转入今年庆典，预算为 10 万美元；今年的具体摊位名单尚未公布。
亡灵节（Día de los Muertos）源于墨西哥传统，在 11 月 1 日至 2 日纪念逝者，家人以照片、蜡烛、万寿菊与食物布置祭坛（ofrenda）迎接亲人灵魂归来，是南加州拉丁裔社区一年中最重要的文化节日之一。

Long Beach Día de los Muertos Grand Festival Returns to Rainbow Lagoon on November 1: Free, 1 to 7 p.m., City-Run With No Parade
In Long Beach, a city in Los Angeles County, California, the annual Día de los Muertos Grand Festival will take place on Sunday, November 1, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Rainbow Lagoon (400 E. Shoreline Dr.) in downtown Long Beach, with free admission. Hosted by the City of Long Beach and the Office of First District Councilwoman Mary Zendejas, the festival will feature live performances, food trucks and a resource fair, inviting the community to gather in memory of loved ones who have died.
The celebration returns after a one-year absence. According to the Long Beach Post, the city canceled all of last year's Día de los Muertos festivities, including the parade, out of an abundance of caution after officials heard genuine fears in the community about federal immigration enforcement. This year's event returns at a smaller scale and without a parade. The festival began in 2014 and added a parade in 2022, when floats, classic cars, dancing horses and ballet folklórico drew tens of thousands from across the region. From 2022 through 2024, the festival was organized by the private group Grand Parade Día De Los Muertos Inc. while the city ran the parade; after the company chose not to organize the festival this year, the city took over the celebration in full. City spokesperson Laath Martin said the City Council approved diverting unspent funds from last year's parade toward this year's celebration, giving it a budget of $100,000; specific vendors have not yet been announced.
Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican tradition observed on November 1 and 2, when families honor the dead with altars (ofrendas) decorated with photographs, candles, marigolds and food, and it is one of the most important cultural celebrations of the year for Latino communities across Southern California.
