What you need to know

- Mariachis played Saturday lunchtime last year, the most kid-friendly slot in the program
About
Each fall Mercado de Prosperidad, a neighborhood food market, dresses up for Mexico's Day of the Dead with papel picado, an altar, mariachis and a photocall. Last year the stalls also ran a tapa-and-drink route, and the nights brought a DJ and a Ramones tribute band. Daytime is the gentler slot for kids; late evenings lean toward a grown-up party.
