Bare Hands, Inc. will be celebrating Dia de los Muertos No. 16 (Day of the Dead) celebration at  Pepper Place, on Friday, November 2, 2018 from 5pm- 11pm. This event has become one of the largest and most popular events in the city because of its attention to tradition and the cultural significance it celebrates. The festival is made possible by countless volunteer hours, given to create an experience that respects the tradition and heart of Mexico’s sacred Day of the Dead remembrance, which combines flowers, music, food, stories, friends, family and memorials in honor of those who have gone before. Many say the gathering has brought them a stronger, broader sense of community. Personal remembrances (ofrendas), family crafts, puppet shows, music, procession, memorial roll call, local artists’ market (mercado), food and beverage vendors, face painters and more are all part of this unique cross-cultural celebration.
