Dia de los Muertos occurs in November and is a traditional cultural holiday celebrated throughout the world for hundreds of years by the gathering of family and friends to pray for and remember their deceased loved ones.  Dia de los Muertos does not celebrate death. It is a rejoicing and celebration of the lives of friends and family who have died.

This is a USTAF sanctioned event.
