Inlandia's Cultura Without Borders presents DÍa de los Muertos: Remembering Loved Ones

Join us for Artswalk at Riverside Main Library Community Room on Thursday, October 2, from 5:30-7:30 PM, and learn about Día de los Muertos, an indigenous tradition dating back hundreds of years and celebrated throughout Latin America and the United States!

Honor your departed loved ones by creating a mini altar and writing a short essay about the altar or the loved one you're honoring. Discover the traditions of DÍa de los Muertos and its symbolism as presenters lead you in an activity to create your own mini altar out of a shoebox with craft supplies.

Presenters will then guide you through writing a short essay. Shoeboxes and supplies are limited to 15 people. First come, first served. Any attendees over this limit can enjoy the presentation, followed by the creative writing portion scheduled to begin around 7:00 PM. Participants should bring small photos and other tiny objects in remembrance of their loved ones to place on their altars or to assist during the writing instruction.
Riverside Main Library is located at 3900 Mission Inn Avenue in downtown Riverside. FREE.
