Dia de los Muertos is the most important celebration of the year. Traditionally, throughout Mexico, this is a time to celebrate with the dead. Altars are dedicated to loved ones who have passed to create an inviting space for their spirits to return as candles, marigolds, pan de muerto, fruit, pictures, food and drinks adorn each altar, and we remember our ancestors, our history, our culture and celebrate life!

La Mujer Obrera will host their 22nd annual Dia de los Muertos celebration on Saturday, November 2nd from 3pm-10pm at Cafe Mayapan, 2000 Texas Ave featuring Danza Azteca, Danza Azteca Tlaneztica, Tereso Contreras, Churuhui & Ballet Folklorico Paso del Norte, Ceiba, Los Actores: Aromas y Dulces para nuestros Difuntos por Fernando Horcasitas and more!
