Saturday, October 31st

El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a Mexican celebration that coincides with the Catholic holidays of All Saints Day (Nov. 1st) and All Souls Day (Nov. 2nd) but has roots in indigenous practices said to be more than 3000 years old. The holiday is a time to memorialize loved ones who have passed on.

Highlights include a food tasting from 12 to 2pm, calavera (Skull) face painting & portraits, Mariachi music from 3 to 4:30, as well as evening theater performances. All events are free.
