A non-profit organisation dedicated to promote understanding and awareness of Mexican culture in the Northern Teriroty, Australia.
30 April is the day when children are celebrated in Mexico. It is an annual celebration across Mexico, where this day is focused on making children feel special and loved. Traditionally, children participate in games, listen to music, and enjoy their favorite food.
This tradition was born from the first “World Conference for the Well-being of Children” that was held in Geneva, Switzerland, in August 1925, where Mexico decided to recognise children, their importance to society and their well-being.
MEXNT has collaborated with the Lakeside Drive Community Garden to bring this celebration to the Northern Territory.

On the 1st and 2nd of November, Mexican families honour the temporary return of their deceased relatives and loved ones through colourful altars, rituals and celebrations. Día de los Muertos is a joyful time to demonstrate love and respect for their deceased family members and to celebrate their memory.
In Mexico, these days imply the transitory return of the souls of the deceased, who return home to the world of the living, to live with their families, and to nourish themselves with the essence of the Food that is offered to them on the altars placed in their honour.
Due to its extensive history and contribution to the culture of Mexico, in 2003 the celebration of the Day of the Dead was named by UNESCO as Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This celebration is a mixture of magic, joy, prayers, songs and food.
