Santa Ana Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency invites community to honor loved ones at Día de los Muertos: Magic of the Altars

The Santa Ana Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency will remember and celebrate the lives of passed loved ones at the third annual Día de Los Muertos: Magic of the Altars event. Hosted at the Roosevelt-Walker Community Center (816 E. Chestnut Ave.) on Saturday, November 1, from 3 - 6 p.m., this cultural celebration will honor the cherished tradition of the Day of the Dead, a time when families come together to reflect, share memories, and celebrate the eternal connection between the living and those who came before us.

This free, family-friendly event invites everyone to experience the beauty and meaning of Día de los Muertos through activities such as:

• A community altar to place photos of passed loved ones
• Community exhibitors
• Art making and crafting
• Face painting
• Games
• And much more!

Registration is not required but is highly recommended. Pre-registration is available at tinyurl.com/SADIA25.
