Friday, November 1st, from 7-9PM.
Hi all! We, the 2024-2025 Abrahamic House Fellows are thrilled to invite you to our Día de Muertos event from 7-9PM on Friday, November 1st.
Día de Muertos is an indigenous Mexica holiday that is practiced across Mexico to honor our loved ones who have died. Traditionally, during Día de Muertos we build an altar, or ofrenda, complete with pictures of our loved ones, cempasúchil (marigold) flowers, copal incense, pan de muerto (a sweet bread), candles, and Calaveras (sugar skulls). During our event, we will be building an ofrenda together, and we’d love to invite you to bring a picture or momento of someone who has passed on that you’d like to honor. You are also welcome to bring food, as we will have some appetizers but would love for folks to also share their cultural dishes with us.
In Mexico, we choose to honor those who have left us through music, joy, storytelling. Día de Muertos is really a celebration of life and those we get to love, even for a little while. Anyone is invited to take part in this practice with us, whether they are latine or not, and we hope you come celebrate with us.
Parking and space is limited, so please plan accordingly. Location and email confirmation will be provided closer to the event date.
Please note: Alcohol is welcome at this event, and we will provide a few options, but please also feel welcome to bring your own!
