Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos)

Recommended Posts

Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos is an interesting celebration. It is meant to be a day of rememberance of our loved ones, who have died.

I once went to an underground Dia de los Muertos happening that was an art gallery opening (dark Frida Kahlo-like paintings), fashion show and concert all in one. It took place in a huge warehouse and was incredible. The music was an all Mexican Taiko drum-playing band from L.A. (I made their costumes.) It was a very cool event!

Is anyone planning to celebrate this? I don't normally celebrate Day of the Dead, but I was thinking that it would be nice to celebrate in honor of people who have passed away.

Edited to add Spanish to the subject title.

For the last few years, I have been wanting to have a Day of the Dead party at my house, but I am such a horrible planner that I never get around to it. This year, I even had a reminder set up for myself, but we're in the middle of buying a house so it's sort of a bad time. But if you know of any interesting events that are happening this year, please let me know, because I would like to go to something like that...
