Dia de los Muertos
November 2 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Free
On an annual basis, the Davis Cemetery District hosts a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on our grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous influenced rituals, honoring mother earth and all ancestors. This celebration is part of an effort to create a community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of cultural richness in our multicultural society.
Historically, the Dia de los Muertos celebration has included a variety of artists and performers, as well as a collective altar honoring all ancestors. We are pleased to announce this year’s Dia de los Muertos event will be fully returning for the first time since the pandemic!
This year’s Dia de los Muertos event will be held Saturday, November 2nd, from 10:00AM – 1:00pm. This year’s community partner/organizer is Zaid Arroyos, Intern for Yolo County Board of Supervisors District 4.
The event will feature live music, sugar skull painting, face painting, local artist displays, food, and more.
We are looking for interested vendors to attend and sell their products to our patrons. If you have food, art, crafts, supplies, home goods, or anything else that you wish to sell at our event, please fill complete the interest form here.
