Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
  Oct 28-Nov 3, 2011
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
El Dia de los Muertos celebrates, with humor and love, the memories of loved ones who have gone before us. Despite its spooky name and eerie images, like sugar skulls and skeleton dolls, the Mexican Day of the Dead is a joyous glimpse into the doorway between the spiritual and physical worlds.

In the spirit of the season, we invite you to join us to toast and celebrate the departed souls who will follow the paths of marigold petals and incense to return and roam the earth.
