Redwood City: Day of the Dead

  • Redwood City’s Courthouse Square 2200 Broadway Redwood City, CA, 94063 United States (map)

Every year, we meticulously choose a theme or a region of Latin America deeply rooted in the ancient tradition of the Day of the Dead. 

This year’s theme draws from Rivera’s depiction of death in Mexican history, symbolized most prominently by La Catrina. Originally an etching by José Guadalupe Posada, La Catrina represents the idea that death is a universal equalizer, regardless of social status. In Rivera’s mural, she stands elegantly dressed, reflecting the Día de los Muertos tradition, where death is honored as an integral part of life’s cycle. The event will explore this interplay between life and death, deeply embedded in the Mexican cultural and social fabric.

The full lineup and schedule will be available closer to the celebration date on the website.
