Día de Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is an annual Central American holiday from November 1st through November 2nd that welcomes the celebration of the lives of deceased relatives. Traditionally, families come together to create offerings as a way to honor loved ones who have passed on and encourage them to visit from the land of the beyond to join in on the celebration.

On Thursday, October 30th altars built by individual community members, local businesses and community organizations will be on display at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center. Altars will remain on open display through November 1st for public viewing.
