Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a festive time to honor deceased relatives, satirize the living, and entice the spirits to visit with flower-decked altars and offerings of food. One of Mexico’s most distinctive holidays, Day of the Dead, is considered a day of cheerful celebration rather than one of mourning.
Keeping with that spirit, the Latin American Coalition and Levine Museum of the New South present a FREE day of fun for the whole family. The Day of the Dead celebration will feature traditional foods, folkloric dances, cultural arts and crafts, and children’s activities. The community altar-building contest is always a crowd favorite! Each team’s alter celebrates the lives of those who have passed. Admission to the festival and museum is free all day and includes admission to Levine Museum of the New South’s exhibits.
