día de los muertos festival &...

The altar is one of the most distinctive ways Day of the Dead is celebrated. An altar is made in honor of the deceased and can be displayed at a grave site or in the

home. Offerings of food, beverages and prized possessions are displayed.

The altar is a mixture of symbolism that comes from both native Aztec traditions and Catholic beliefs brought to Mexico by the Spanish conquistadors.

Organizations, schools, and individuals are welcome to submit an application to

reserve an altar space at this year’s event.

Applications are due by October 11, 2019

To reserve your space contact Yaret Hernandez at elrosalbakery@gmail.com or 1DiaSantaCruz@gmail.com or call (831) 234-5189
