An Evening with the Ancestors: Community Altar Build
Date & Time: November 7, 2026 at 5:30 PM (Pacific Time)
Location: 376 40th St
Join us for an evening dedicated to honoring and celebrating our dearly departed. Together we will build a temporary community altar, an ofrenda, where the living and the remembered can gather together in the same sacred space.
Bring photographs and other mementos of your loved ones as offerings: a favorite flower, a treasured trinket, a handwritten note, or something that held meaning for them. If you do not have anything to bring, you are still just as welcome. Everyone is invited to take part, and all ancestors are honored here.
Bask in the glow of candlelight and the warmth of community as we take time to remember, share stories, and simply be together. Whether you come to speak a name aloud, to sit in quiet reflection, or to witness the beauty of what we create, there is a place for you.
We will be serving tea and pan de muerto to share in this special gathering!
