Día de Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is an annual Central American holiday from November 1st through November 2nd that welcomes the celebration of the lives of deceased relatives. Traditionally, families come together to create offerings as a way to honor loved ones who have passed on and encourage them to visit from the land of the beyond to join in on the celebration.
On Thursday, October 31st altars built by individual community members, local businesses and community organizations will be on display at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center. Altars will remain on open display through November 2nd for public viewing.
Thank you to our sponsors Cielo Market, UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Holy Cross Cemetery & Funeral Services, the Law Office of Leandro H. Duran and KPB Immigration Law Firm.
