Celebrate Cempoalxóchitl, the Marigold, in October and November

Every fall, fields across California’s Central Coast burst into color with cempoalxóchitl — the brilliant Mexican marigolds at the heart of Día de los Muertos traditions.

Through the Marigold Collective, we bring forward a community-led experience rooted in Mexican heritage. From seed to seedling, from farmer to artist, and from our fields to your community, this is about more than flowers. It is about music, food, hands-on workshops, and vibrant gatherings that honor culture, land, and joy.

Celebrate with locally grown marigolds and support the farmers who keep this tradition alive.
