Join us on Friday, November 1st from 6:00 - 8:00pm for a memorable evening which will evoke the tastes, smells, and ambience of Mexico on this unique holiday which honors the dead by celebrating life, fondly remembering those who’ve past, and recognizing the intertwined nature of life and death with singular openness and humor.

Practice speaking Spanish and deepen your cultural understanding as we enjoy a delicious potluck meal including traditional dishes such as tamales, atole, and pan de muerto. We invite you to bring a photo of a deceased loved one to add to our altar, commemorating those we have lost with a beautiful ofrenda or “offering”.
