Day of the Dead

October 28, 2006
Dia de los Muertos – The Day of the Dead
Noon – 7:00
Josaphat Arts Hall - 1433 East 33rd Street
In Mexican culture it is traditional to observe the "Día de los Muertos"-- the Day of the Dead. It is a colorful, festive occasional where the spirits of deceased loved ones are welcomed back for a day of ritual and amusement. It is one of the most celebrated events in all of Latin America. In the Cleveland’s St. Clair Superior neighborhood, we’ll celebrate on October 28, 2006.

Salvador Gonzalez and other leaders from the Latino community, regional artists and local civic leaders will partner with the St. Clair Superior Development Corporation to plan the event. The event will take place on East 33rd Street in and around Josaphat Arts Hall. The festivities will draw visitors from around the region and state and include "ofrendas" or "offerings" for the Day of the Dead created by local artists, music by Mariachis and pre-Columbian dances, as well as traditional Mexican food.
