Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a Mexican tradition that honors deceased loved ones. Families create altars with offerings and visit cemeteries to celebrate and remember, often with painted faces, vibrant decorations, and festive parades. It's a lively and heartfelt tribute to the cycle of life and death.
Fuerzas Culturales will commence the evening at 6pm with an opening introduction. Following this, there will be alternating sessions of dance performances and Loteria (Mexican Bingo). Additionally, attendees can enjoy face painting services and explore a communal ofrenda (altar) during the event.
