Grand Park celebrates the traditions of Día de los Muertos with multiple ways to experience and learn about the holiday. In partnership with Self-Help Graphics & Art and LORE Productions, the park will present 50 altars and art installations created by local artists and community groups in honor of Día de los Muertos.
The altars, which will remain in the park all week long, will focus on the theme of the four elements and the ways in which nature intersects our lives. From environmental justice to urban farming, along with tributes to key leaders within the local environmental movement, installations will celebrate Día de los Muertos' origins and evolution.
The park will offer free lunchtime tours, which will highlight the artwork and discuss the traditions of the holiday. Additional tours will be offered on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. as part of the Grand Avenue Arts: All Access event.
This free event is appropriate for all ages.
