Join us for a very special Day of the Dead Celebration — a free, family-friendly community event where we’ll honor ancestral traditions while embracing the richness of many cultures.

Inspired by Día de Muertos, this gathering brings together diverse practices of remembrance and celebration of life from around the world. Through music, dance, storytelling, and art, we’ll explore how different cultures pay tribute to those who have passed and celebrate the beauty of life itself.
