The stage will feature a traditional ofrenda or altar to the loved ones who have passed away.

The performances will consist of a group of artists dedicating their art form to a loved one that has passed away. Each artist will share a little information about their loved one and will add their photo and an object that represents something they loved to the ofrenda.
The artistic lineup includes Silvana González, Caroli Nolasco, Lorena Marín, Regina Carregha, Fernanda Incera, Paloma de Vega, Regina Romero, Lorena Del Pino, Kate Gauthier, Emilio Guzmán, Fernanda Hidalgo, Charles Engelsgjerd, and Martha Preve.
