Celebrate Día de los Mu***os!
It’s a vibrant and deeply meaningful holiday celebrated primarily in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage. Join us for a colorful evening celebrating tradition, remembrance, and community- now inside an 80 foot event tent for added protection and comfort!

Enjoy captivating performances by Los Colores de America & Grupo Folklorico Guelaguetza, savor a warm bowl of pozole rojo soup (chicken & pork), and taste Mexican breads, and hot chocolate. Families can visit activity tables featuring sugar skull crafts and temporary tattoos, face painting, and a photo booth. Also here is a great chance to connect with community partners including Mi Gente, Oregon Law Center, Energy Services, Boys & Girls Club, Salem Library, and Creating Opportunities.

Discover vibrant table displays honoring cultural traditions featured in Disney’s Coco and feel free to bring a photo or drawing of your ancestors to be honored at the traditional ofrenda.
