Each year the Purdue University Latino Cultural Center gathers to call upon our ancestors who have passed, and to celebrate their life and death. In 2008, UNESCO recognized the importance of Día de los muertos by adding the holiday to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people. For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in life’s long continuum. The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit—and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth.
The evening will also feature crafts, live performances, and traditional food enjoyed on Dia de los muertos.

This event is free and open to Purdue University faculty, staff and students and to the Greater Lafayette Community.
The Student Fee Activity Board grant (SFAB) is a co-sponsor.
