HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ATTEND?
The event is free! There is a $5 suggested donation to help offset the cost of producing the event.
WHAT IS DIA DE MUERTOS ALL ABOUT?
Día de Muertos is a holiday typically celebrated on November 1 and 2 where people gather to honor loved ones who have passed away. It is a joyful celebration rather than a time of mourning. Día de Muertos gatherings traditionally involve dancing, singing, food, and drink as ways of celebrating the lives our dearly departed. The origins of the holiday are largely in Mexico, with some regional variations, but it is also observed in many other places around the world, including right here in Shoreline!
HOW CAN I HELP?
