Join us for an evening discussing the rich history and tradition of Dia de los Muertos.

Discover the art of paper flower crafting by lending your creative touch to our community “ofrenda” altar. In this class, we will create different styles of "cempasúchil" (marigolds) out of tissue paper and sample traditional Central American candies.

All materials will be provided.
