The Meaning Behind Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a vibrant celebration that honors our loved ones who have passed away. This holiday originated in Mexico and is observed from October 31st to November 2nd.
During this time, families create altars and bring ofrendas (offerings) to commemorate those they have lost. The altars are typically decorated with marigolds, candles, calaveras (skulls), photographs, and the favorite meals and drinks of their loved ones.
We invite you to celebrate life and culture by participating in our community altars and learning about this holiday through arts and crafts activities.
There will be live music, traditional dancers, and vendors featuring local artisans and regional food.
Visit the City of Clayton website and read more about the event details.
