About this Event
This Día de los Muertos, Stolp Avenue will come alive with music, color, tradition and community.
Join us outside Altiro Latin Fusion Aurora for a free, family-friendly block party honoring the beautiful Mexican tradition of remembering those we love and celebrating the lives they lived.
The festival will begin with a traditional Mayan ceremony recognizing the meaning and history of Día de los Muertos. The celebration will continue throughout the afternoon with live music, folklórico dancers, local vendors, live body painting and activities for the entire family.
