This year the City of Perth invited FOMEX to participate in its Carnival Macabre with Mexican Day of the Dead. A very enthusiastic group of volunteers worked very hard to portray this Mexican tradition in all its splendor. This is the list of activities organised by FOMEX:

• Display of Altar for the Dead for one week.
• Catrinas exhibition (part of the Altar).
• Bread of the Dead and hot chocolate for people visiting the Altar.
• DoD posters exhibition.
• Skull decoration workshop for children.
• Mexican folkloric dances by Ixtzul. Two performances.
• Big format paintings to decorate Northbridge Piazza.
• Authentic Mexican food stall.
• Mexican crafts stall.
• Radio and television interviews explaining DoD.

Photos of the event can be found in our Flickr account.
