On an annual basis, the Davis Cemetery District hosts a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on our grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous influenced rituals, honoring mother earth and all ancestors. This celebration is part of an effort to create a community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of cultural richness in our multicultural society.
Historically, the Dia de los Muertos celebration has included a variety of artists and performers, as well as a collective altar honoring all ancestors. We are pleased to announce this year’s Dia de los Muertos event will be fully returning since the pandemic!
This year's event will include educational speakers, performers, art, food, vendors, a public altar, and family craft corner. The family craft corner will feature free face painting, sugar skull decorating, and more.
