Sherman Heights Día de los Muertos 2023 Celebration

6 PM, ongoing daily from October 12, 2023 until November 2, 2023.
Sherman Heights Community Center & Park
All Ages

The Día de los Muertos celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center is a weeks-long community festivity that preserves the Day of the Dead tradition, itself a millennial practice.

This celebration began in 1994, when Sr. Sandoval, a local resident approached the Center requesting a space to create an altar in honor of his loved ones during Día de los Muertos.

Over the years the festivity has grown to include onsite community altars, front-yard altars throughout the neighborhood, craft workshops, online tutorials and videos, an activity guide, student tours and food tastings, a procession and fundraising event.

The tradition is a joyous occasion when the memory of our ancestors and the continuity of life is celebrated.

Festivities run from mid Oct. - Nov. 2 and are open to the public! Visit: https://shermanheightscc.org/ddlm to verify the schedule for each activity!
