Day of the Dead is an incredible time to be in Mexico, and lots of folks are already planning their trip down for the holiday. I posted this awhile back but have now updated dates and times with the most recent information I can find. Again, a word of warning, there is still some contradictory info out there, but this is the most solid I could find.
October 19, Giant Alebrijes Parade, 12pm @ Zocalo / ends @ Angel de Independencia, the Alebrijes will be displayed on Reforma Avenue in the median between the Angel de Independencia and Diana la Cazadora from the 19th of October until the 17th of November.

October 26, 5pm Catrina Parade, along Reforma Ave from the Angel de Independencia to the Zocalo
October 27, 2pm Day of the Dead International Parade, leaving from the Zocalo and headed towards Polanco on Reforma, sources say, ending at the Estela de Luz
November 1, 10am Inauguration of the Mega Ofrenda (Mega Altar) @ Zocalo, 7pm – The altar will be up from the 18th of October to the 5th of November, this is one event that I am finding contradictory information on for times and date.

a group from Gongshu, China will participate. Starts at the Estela de Luz and marches to the Zocalo
