About this event

A public festival that brings grief and mourning out of the shadows and into the light. On the first day, we create a space where grief can be expressed, shared and understood through workshops, art installations, music, peer support and more. The second day of the festival is our Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration. A Mexican and Latin American tradition, this day bring rituals, performances, crafts and food to commemorate loved ones who have died and embrace death as a universal part of life.
