💀 Honor a Loved One
As part of our partnership with Casa Guadalupe Multicultural Center, we’ll be creating a community Día de los Muertos ofrenda (altar).
We invite you to bring a photo of a departed loved one—including a beloved pet—to add to the community altar. Whether you’re familiar with Día de los Muertos or experiencing this tradition for the first time, we welcome you to participate, learn, reflect, and celebrate the lives and memories of those who came before us.
🔥 Stories Around the Fire
Gather around the fire for an evening of spooky stories, local legends, and tales of the unexplained.
We’re planning a special lineup of storytelling and paranormal programming for the evening. Details about this year’s storytellers and presenters will be announced as they are confirmed.
