This weekend: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Campos Community Garden

The annual celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) takes place Sunday from 2-5 p.m. at the Campos Community Garden, 640 E. 12th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C. 

Here's more info via the EVG inbox... 
We invite you back to our community event for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Campos Community Garden. 

• Altar set up Saturday, 12-4 p.m. 
• Community Event Sunday, 2-5 p.m. 
• Cetiliztl Nauhcampa Dancers Ceremony Sunday, 3 p.m. 

We will have our sheltered altar set up in the gazebo. Feel free to bring your items in remembrance of your friends, relatives, pets, or any of your loved ones. There will also be an area for kids to make items to add to the altar. 

This is our 13th?! year organizing the event for the community. It's a tradition connected to Aztec/Indigenous roots and Spanish traditions. It is several days — of not mourning or sadness — but Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. 

Come enjoy with us in the garden. Bring an item for the altar in remembrance of a loved one or someone you admired, especially those we lost during the pandemic and other recent tragedies.

    Love it. The altar is always so precious. Saw some cute painted skulls Kids made the other day.
