Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Latin American holiday that celebrates and honors departed friends and family members. On this day in Mexico, the streets near cemeteries are filled with decorations of cut paper, flowers, candy skeletons and skulls, and parades. Families remember those who have passed on by preparing their favorite foods and creating altars.
The Family Resource Center of Truckee (FRCoT) invites community members to celebrate cultural diversity at this free, family-friendly event and to join in honoring citizens and agencies that support the FRCoT’s mission.
