In recent decades, heritage research has increasingly underscored the importance of safeguarding intangible assets and considering the voices of marginalised groups, including children. Using social learning theory and environmental perspective, this study delves into the collective perspective of children from Mixquic, Mexico City, regarding the Day of the Dead (DD) celebration in their town, utilising drawings and interviews. The main findings unveiled: (i) the integral role of playful activities, such as el campanero, in the social learning process concerning intangible heritage; (ii) the offering as the focal point in children’s collective representation of DD celebrations; and (iii) recognition of tourism as a generally positive contextual factor in the celebration.
