Please join us for an evening of poetry, lecture and song honoring our departed loved ones.

In the first hour our host, Sonoma County Poet Laureate Dave Seter, will introduce featured speakers who will present poetry and songs and tell us about the history and meaning of Día de los Muertos.

In the second hour, the podium is turned over to participants from the community who are invited to share a brief poem or statement about a loved one in Spanish, English or other language. (Please limit your presentation to 2-3 minutes so that everyone has a chance to speak.)

Admission is free. Traditional refreshments will be served.

This event is part of the Día de los Muertos Petaluma celebration, featuring community altars, sugar skull workshops, music, dance, and a procession with giant puppets.
