Homage to Mexico's Dia de Muertos

Patrón Tequila takes part in the celebration of Día de Muertos, a festival that originated in Mexico, but is celebrated worldwide.

The celebration is centered on the belief that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is lifted and families can gather to welcome back the souls of their ancestors, but through a joyful occasion accompanied by food, drinks and symbols to welcome them back to the world of the living.

Founded in Mexico in 1989, Patrón Tequila pays homage to this festival by continuously participating and celebrating Día de Muertos all over the world including the Philippines.
