What do I wear for the Dia de los Muertos event?

Come as you are! There is no dress code but keep in mind there will be a competition for the best dressed "La Catrina". 

What do I bring?

No need to bring anything but yourself! There will have an altar or "ofrenda" if you wish to bring a memento to honor a loved one of yours that has passed. This may be a printed photo, a small trinket that reminds you of them or flowers. 

What food options will be available?

There will be a variety of traditional treats and foods to try. We would not plan to supplement your entire evening meal with the options available though. 

What time will dancing and musical performances be?

There will be entertainment throughout the entire event. A performance schedule will be shared once times have been confirmed with the acts.

What else can I expect to see and do at this event?

There will be singing, dancing, music, food to try, traditional decorations, murals from local artists displayed along with a few activities organized by local community members.
