Dia de lost muertos is is a big deal in Mexico, and it's coming soon. Andrew gave a great answer, but I a'll add a plug for Ocotepec, Cuernavaca. I don't know if it's safe, but the town the often comes up when talking about Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico. This small town holds Mass and special events throughout a two week observation. Food is a big part of the celebration, and visitors are welcomed to join in.
