Respect the Tradition: Día de los Muertos is a meaningful cultural and spiritual tradition. We welcome everyone to learn and take part, and we ask that you approach it with respect.

Leave No Trace & Respect the Land: Clean up after yourself, pick up any sequins or glitter, and leave the park better than we found it.
