So often after we've lost someone we love, we also lose the opportunity to talk about them. Friends and family gradually stop bringing them up to avoid feelings of sadness over their passing. Before we know it, we haven't told those familiar, favorite stories, or talked about our loved one in a long time. Join us for a heartfelt evening to remember and honor those we have lost. Together, we’ll share stories, pictures, and keepsakes that celebrate their lives and the love that remains. The evening will be guided by grief counselors from The Elizabeth Hospice, and accompanied by the soothing resonance of singing bowls, led by Sherie Honarvar of Azadi Healing. This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required at community@ehospice.org The Elizabeth Hospice on Facebook / Instagram

The Dia de los Muertos festival is an important day to celebrate cultural pride in its many manifestations.

Dancers grace the stage, and lyrical or staccato rhythms vibrate. Ever popular, Victoria Mariachi, and Rick and Friends return. There is dance for every taste from San Diego Ballet to Aztec Dancers. Theater lovers of all ages will be treated to The Old Globe and Fern St. Circus. Youth participate in a drum lesson with Drummers Without Borders, and a drum parade follows with colorful giant banners, inviting all to join. Family and community altars abound.
