To join the waitlist or inquire about our 2022 trip, email us here. <br> Celebrate Día de los Muertos, one of the world's most vivid festivals, in the food and craft capital of Oaxaca. Each year the streets become a river of color and light with chains of orange marigolds, elaborate candle-lit altars, stalls bearing the season’s signature dishes and a carnival of costumed parades. Both spiritual and celebratory, the multi-day festival is a beautifully moving showcase of Mexican culture that combines color, craft and cuisine.

In 2021, we will experience it firsthand with the families, artisans and chefs keeping its traditions alive. Participate in mole and chocolate making, attend workshops with Oaxacan ceramicists, weavers and papermakers, and create an altar with a local artist to honor those who have passed.

PRIOR has fully reserved the city’s brightest new boutique hotel, Escondido Oaxaca, to serve as our clubhouse for our stay, and we will dine at star chef Enrique Olvera’s restaurant Criollo during a private fiesta with artists and musicians.

To continue our support of Oaxacan arts, PRIOR is creating a fund to bring five young artists to the US the following year to showcase their work during a brief residency, in collaboration with local institutions MACO, CASA, IAGO, and OaxacaCine.
