Join us for a Two-Day Celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)!

This special celebration is a time to honor and remember our loved ones who have passed. This is a vibrant tradition where families create ofrendas (altars) with photos, food, and mementos to invite the spirits of their ancestors to visit. It’s a joyful event filled with color, music, and reflection, celebrating life and the memories of those no longer with us.

Day 1 (Nov. 1st) : Ofrenda Setup and Fun Activities

• Ofrenda Setup: Starting at 6 PM, you are invited to bring a photo or memento of a loved one to place on the altar to honor their memory.

• Sugar Skull Decorating: personalize sugar skulls and add your creations to the ofrenda as a tribute to your loved ones.

• Kite Decorating: decorate a kite—an important cultural element in some Día de los Muertos celebrations as a way to express your remembrance.
