A Party With a Purpose

Beyond the celebration, the evening aims to raise money for the assistance programs DIF Isla Mujeres provides to residents and families in need. The agency carries out a range of social welfare work in the municipality, and organizers hope the event will draw community support for those efforts.

According to the event announcement, proceeds will go toward the agency’s activities. However, organizers did not specify what share of the entry fee will be directed to social programs, or which areas will receive the funds.

The event is part of a slate of activities promoted by the Isla Mujeres municipal government to encourage civic participation and community gatherings, while generating support for local social initiatives.

Catrinas, Witches and Halloween

The theme draws on two figures central to late-October festivities: the catrina, tied to Mexico’s Day of the Dead traditions, and the witch, associated with Halloween. Guests are encouraged to dress up, from traditional catrina attire to costumes inspired by horror and fantasy characters, in line with organizers’ guidelines.

The gathering offers an alternative for those who want to mark the season in a social setting while contributing to a charitable cause.
