There will be live music and performances as well as an altar exhibition, Catrina and Catrin makeup stations and Bread of the Dead!

The event is presented by Casa Mexico, an organization that promotes the “best of Mexico.”

“The Day of the Dead reunites the living and dead. It is believed that it is the one time a year when the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves,” according to its Instagram post.
