Wide crowd shots are fine; portraits need permission, especially of children, performers mid-ritual, and personal ofrendas at Día de los Muertos events, where some altars honor recent losses. Ask first, accept no gracefully, and skip flash at night processions and candlelit events, where it genuinely disrupts. When an event posts photography guidance, that overrides all defaults. Buy from artists you photograph.
Eat first: tours run 90 minutes of walking, and most start between 7 and 9 pm, so book dinner two hours before the tour within a short walk of the meeting point, and keep it lighter than you would for a movie night. Afterward, a nightcap spot near the route's end lets the group unpack the stories, the debrief is half the fun.
The season doesn't end at midnight on the 31st: Día de los Muertos celebrations run October 31 through November 2, harvest markets and fall festivals continue into mid-November, and some attractions run one final discounted weekend. Costume and decor clearance peaks November 1-2 for next-year planning. If October overflowed, the first November weekend is the graceful catch-up window.
