Nov 2nd, 2020
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create Ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!
Please mark your calendars and
join us!
