This presentation explores the significance and elements of ofrendas (Spanish for "offering") and walks you through how to build one honoring your loved ones on Dia De Los Muertos.

A sample ofrenda will be set up to showcase different items traditionally included and we will be constructing a community ofrenda to be on display through the evening. Attendees are invited to bring photos, decorations, or favorite dishes of loved ones to add to the table. Items can be collected and brought home at the end of the event.

Día De Los Muertos has been celebrated in Latin American culture for thousands of years and is a time to honor the lives of loved ones who have passed on. Festivities serve as a chance to celebrate life with traditions full of color and joy. 

At 4 pm, Casa Delicia's Marcel Sanchez and Broadway Square's Ana Rusness-Petersen discuss Dia De Los Muertos' rich history, traditions and the legends of the day. Come learn more about this unique day of celebration.
