LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- It's a tradition from Mexico and Latin America that is thousands of years old.

WDRB's Keith Kaiser learns about the Day of the Dead Celebration at Noche Mexican BBQ.

Noche is an authentic homage to Mexican BBQ featuring smoked meats and sides cooked for family and friends.

The restaurant has won numerous awards for its classic tingas, antojitos, unique salsas and drinks.

Three years ago, Aaron Diaz brought the classic Mexican BBQ to a Historic Cathedral located on Bardstown Road.

Noche Mexican BBQ celebrates its 3-Year Anniversary in Louisville with a series of Day of the Dead events.

Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a multi-day holiday that involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have passed.

These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.
