Assured that the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Dia de los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Dia de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones.
The most familiar symbol of Dia de los Muertos may be the calacas and calaveras (skeletons and skulls), which appear everywhere during the holiday: in candied sweets, as parade masks, as dolls. Calacas and calaveras are almost always portrayed as enjoying life, often in fancy clothes and entertaining situations.
join us Saturday Nov 5th to celebrate the dead, while celebrating life through food, music, arts, and friendships. We will also be celebrating the birth of Nabil Zakaria who was born on the actual day of the dead - Nov 2nd, and who will be turning 20 (in dog years).
this is a theme party, costumes and face masks/paintings are highly recommended. Face painting arists will be available on site to enhance your look!
