Come and observe the traditional altars from Mexico and especially from the Mixteco-Oaxaca Communities, and how these traditions are maintained in the United States. This year’s theme is “Siguiendo Nuestras Tradiciones (Continuing Our Traditions).
Día de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican celebration that remembers the life of family members and friends who have passed away. Altars are built in their honor, that include photos of the loved one, food they enjoyed, activities they participated in, and other special items.
