The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage.
In many homes people set up ofrendas, or altars, to the departed loved ones. These are decked with lighted candles, special food, and whatever the dead enjoyed when they were alive.
Bring a photo of your loved one(s) to share. Also learn tips on how to do simple cavalera (sugar skull) face painting, build a flower crown to wear and learn simple scarf hair braiding tips to get your killer outfit ready for the November 3, 2023 Dia De Los Muertos Dance Party and contest.
