Join us for the third annual DeKalb Day of the Dead Celebration!
Walk with us in our Welcoming Procession as we honor those who have passed. We will meet at El Jimador to begin the procession at 2:00 p.m., and will then walk to the library, where you can view ofrendas created by DeKalb community members.
Enjoy crafts, activities, and performances throughout the library, and stay for an after-hours performance by the NIU Mariachi Band!
Stop by WNIJ-HOLA and describe what Day of the Dead means to you. Share your story, your family’s story, or what you’ve learned about this holiday.
Food trucks from Nina’s Tacos and Tako Sushi will have food and drink available for purchase outside the library.
