Dia de los Muertos @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery-We have our own altar meetpoint

Details

We will have our own Altar for the group as a meetup point. AND you will be able to create art and help decorate it. (read below)

This is the biggest, baddest Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival in Los Angeles, if not all of California.

Whatever is written can't compare with a well made vid.

Come celebrate the Mexican holiday on which the souls of the departed are said to return and join in celebration with family members.

It's a humorous way of dealing with the reality of death, which is after all a part of life. If all that sounds a little grim, I have been to this event in the past and found it to be one of the biggest, liveliest parties I have ever seen!

This is a Meetup? YES . . . . we (the group owners) will get an alter spot.
We will decorate it a bit. And we will set it up with chairs and a table with an art activity. Watercolors . . . watercolor paper . . . brushes . . . and you will get to make your own offering for the booth.

We will post the location of our altar. This will be our Meetup point.
You will get there. And you can head out with whoever is there. OR . .. sit down and start with some art and when other folks get there . .. head out with them.

And remember, this takes place in a cemetery and mausoleum. Some of our members have family members buried or interred there, so a certain level of decorum is also appropriate, along with the fun and joy. For instance . . . I personally have relatives located here.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Interested in being one of the hosts. OR interested in being in charge of the design and creation of the alter and decorations . . . send me a message. Will add you and you can then be part of making this event happen.
