Dia de los Muertos Celebration

Joinin for the annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration at the historic Davis Cemetery grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous influenced rituals, honoring mother earth, and all ancestors. This celebration is part of an effort to create community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of cultural richness in today’s multicultural society. The Dia de los Muertos Celebration will include Danza by Kulpulli Tlayolotl, Marachi Puente, Escritores del Nuevo Sol Poets, Musician David Campos, Free Rang Singers, Dancer Justine Villanueva, and others. Traditional hot chocolate and pan dulce treats will also be available. There will be a collective altar honoring all ancestors, including Poet Alarcón. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the public altar.

This event will coincide with the Gallery 1855 artist exhibition Dreamers, Alters, Words and, Paintings featuring over 10 art screen prints by Jaime Montiel with the poetry text by locally and internationally recognized Poet Francisco X. Alarcón.
