Doin' It in Detroit: Dia de los Muertos


On Saturday November 1, Halloween will be over and it will be time to celebrate the dead, as the traditional Mexican holiday "Dia de los Muertos" begins. Wherever in the world Mexican culture is, Dia de las Muertos customs are continued. Religious rites, family reunions, and special foods and offerings are available for events. November 1 is All Saints Day and November 2 is All Souls Day; on November 1st, deceased infants and children (angelitos--little angels) are remembered, and on November 2 adults who have died are honored.

This Saturday, from 10 am until 5 pm, at the Compas, Center of Music and Performing Arts Southwest, Dia de los Muertos will be celebrated with mariachi music, food, and traditional folk dancing.
