Dia De Los Muertos Lake Worth

The Day of the Dead will be celebrated this year in Lakw Worth, Palm Beach County.  Enjoy some of the traditional activities celebrated in Mexico for this special holiday right here in South Florida.  There will be a procession and several  ofrendas (alters for the deceased) at this event.  OFrendas typically will have various traditional symbols on them and honor specfic deceased. Look for marigolds, sugar skulls, and personal mementos of the deceased.  Originally this holiday was celebrated bby the indigenious peoples of Mexico at the beginning of the Summer but it has been pushed closer to the Christian holiday of All Saints Day.  Dance to the ryhthms of a live Mariachi band or if you are too shy, watch as the Fraternidad de Bolivianos expertly displays traditional dances.  Fill you belly with plenty of food.  Kids will enjoy the activities planned at the event just for them including facepainting!  Watch as art is created live or stroll around to ogle at classic cars during this special evening.
