Día de los Muertos Community Celebration
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant community celebration honoring both los muertos and the beauty of life.
DDLM celebrates this important cultural tradition by inviting Latino families to share their culture with the larger community. A family-friendly activity, the celebration is free for all participants.
Each year Tieton Arts & Humanities hosts a celebration and creates a large community altar for everyone to add to. Visitors can bring photos of loved ones, write messages, help decorate, and bring candies or breads. This provides a special opportunity to remember those who are no longer with us.
