This Mexican holiday honors the deceased with a cultural extravaganza filled with food, drink, and festivities. This is a time to come together to celebrate the lives of our loved ones and rejoice in the memories shared with family and friends.
The centerpiece of our celebration is the traditional altar dedicated to offerings for the departed, built for us by poet Raul Sanchez. Witness the heartfelt gestures of gifts and prayers as we guide those who have left us on their journey.
We invite everyone to participate in this joyful event. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and grow as we honor the past and create lasting memories for the future. Come, join us at the “Día de los Muertos – Day of the Dead Celebration” and get to know your neighbors while experiencing the beauty of this holiday.
