About

In traditional Día de los Muertos festivities in Mexico, friends and family gather to remember loved ones who have passed away with colorful calaveras, ofrendas, calacas, and pan de muerto. In the spirit of a culture that is alive, thriving, and therefore ever transforming, we invite you to join our Dia de los Muertos festivities — and through your participation make it yours and the community’s.

Stemming from our Public Space focus area and the Transform 5th Street 2019 project, Healthy Little Havana’s annual Dia de los Muertos cultural festival is an event to commemorate and celebrate the diverse cultures that make up the amazing Little Havana community. Most important in the celebrations and the ofrendas is to capture the spirit of respect, love, and honor we extend to those who have gone before us and who shape us still. We encourage members of the community to adapt this tradition to their own culture and circumstances. As with previous years, we want to spread the Mexican tradition of honoring our loved ones by putting together a community altar.
