On an annual basis, the Davis Cemetery District hosts a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on their grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous influenced rituals, honoring mother earth and all ancestors. This celebration is part of an effort to create a community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of cultural richness in our multicultural society.
Historically, the Dia de los Muertos celebration has included a variety of artists and performers, as well as a collective altar honoring all ancestors. This year’s Dia de los Muertos event will be held Saturday, November 2nd, from 10 AM – 1 PM.
