Día de los Muertos

We welcome you to join us in celebrating Día de los Muertos, a special holiday all across Latin America and beyond, celebrating our difuntos - our loved ones who have passed. Experience a traditional altar and bring a photo of a deceased loved one to add to the altar. Learn the meaning behind el Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). There will be activities, food and fun!

From November 1 to November 2, people across Latin America and the United States celebrate Día de los Muertos to honor their deceased loved ones. Día de los Muertos is a conglomeration of Mesoamerican and Catholic cultures, beliefs, and practices. It is a colorful celebration of the relationship between the living and the dead. It is a time to celebrate, not mourn. During Día de los Muertos, it is believed that the spirits of the departed visit their home and spend time with their loved ones. To welcome them, families and friends create ofrendas (offerings) to guide them home.

November 1 - Remembrance of departed children.
November 2 - Remembrance of departed adults.
