Join us for a vibrant and heartfelt Day of the Dead Festival and Concert, a free, family-oriented community event honoring the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos and the memory of our loved ones.

Enjoy an afternoon filled with live music by the renowned Maqueos Music Philharmonic, colorful folk dance performances by Nueva Antequera, Afro Peruvian Experience, Huaxyacac, and Aztec Dancers, along with hands-on art workshops and visual art exhibitions. 

Marvel at the beautifully crafted altars, take part in craft activities led by experienced artisans—including crown flower making, nichos, alebrijes, and textile papel picado—get your face painted calaca-style, and take a selfie with our floral photo frame.

The festival also features a vibrant art exhibition, delicious food from Mercado vendors, a raffle with great prizes, and, for a memorable finale, a concert by Los Guajes Oaxacan Ensamble—a captivating band that fuses traditional Oaxacan melodies with swing, jazz, and cumbia rhythms.

Come together with family, friends, and neighbors to celebrate culture, community, and the cherished memories of our loved ones in a respectful, joyful, and meaningful way!
