San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, October 22, 2026 —
A range of Día de los Muertos celebrations is taking place across the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area from late October through early November, with events reported in cities around the Bay Area.
The celebrations include processions, exhibitions, festivals and performances. The listed communities are San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Berkeley, Half Moon Bay, Healdsburg, Concord, Santa Rosa and Redwood City. The summary describes events across the region but does not identify which activities are scheduled in each city.
The information provided does not include specific event names, venues, individual dates or times. It also does not name organizers or provide details about admission, programming or participation. Those details were not provided, so the regional overview does not establish a complete schedule for any of the cities.
The timing spans late October into early November, rather than one specified day. Beyond that general period, no year or precise event calendar was included in the information available. The summary likewise does not give attendance estimates or describe how many celebrations are planned.
Taken together, the listed locations and event formats indicate that Día de los Muertos programming is spread across multiple Bay Area communities. The available details establish the broad geographic reach and range of activities, while leaving event-by-event logistics unspecified.
