Día de los Muertos Family Day | Free with RSVP
The people you have lost do not come up much in ordinary conversation, and that silence is treated as maturity rather than as the strange arrangement it actually is.
This holiday takes the opposite position. You build a table, you put their photograph on it, you cook the thing they liked, and you say their name out loud in front of other people who are doing the same. The community ofrenda here is the part that catches first-timers off guard — it is not a display, it is a place you are invited to add to, which means standing in front of strangers' grandmothers and then adding your own.
Oaxacan dance, a procession, workshops in the garden, tamales and elotes from vendors. Free, with RSVP recommended and walk-ins taken as capacity allows.
Sunday October 25, from noon, LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, 501 N Main St. Bring the relative who remembers them better than you do. The altars go up across this county for a full week on either side of this, in parks and plazas and front yards, and most of them nobody advertises at all.
