Day of the Dead Returns!
Our 18th annual Día de Los Muertos celebration will take place on Saturday, November 5th, from 12 noon to 8 pm. Day of the Dead is a local, intimate recreation of the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition.
This colorful and vibrant event will be held at Camp North End and features traditional foods, folkloric arts and crafts, community altars, traditional dances, and fun activities for children. This free, family-day celebration is educational and engaging for all ages.
We're proud to partner with the Latin American Coalition to bring this event to our greater Charlotte community.
