Day of the Dead
Tzompantli
Join us for a traditional Mexican celebration of remembrance co-sponsored by Latin American folkloric performance group La Pinata. Based on the ancient traditions of Mexico's indigenous peoples who believed that the souls of the dead return each year to visit their families, the Day of the Dead celebrates the continusou cycle of life and death, embracing cultures from all throughout the Americas. Enjoy a program of music and dance as individuals bring offerings of photos, flowers, mementos, and traditional skull-shaped sugar candies to place on a decorated candle-lit altar for those departed loved ones.
Dress warmly. Bring a flashlight. Bilingual: English/Spanish. Admission: Free
Volunteering with event set-up
Please arrive at 2:00 pm for instructions and directions. Set up tasks will include placing directional signage at several locations and setting up tables and chairs. Your work will be completed by 4:00 pm.
