Celebrate those who have passed by contributing an ofrenda (offering) to the altar. Bring flowers, incense, photos, letters/notes, sealed food/drink or any small keepsake or trinket that serves as a remembrance to your loved one.

Enjoy live music from the three generation musical family, La Familia Peña-Govea, who play original and traditional bilingual music. Drawing on folk traditions like cumbia, ranchera and sones, René y Familia brings the party wherever it goes.

This event will be held outside (Moultrie St. side).
