Please join us for our Día de Muertos celebration. Community members have the opportunity to build large-scale (8-foot table) ofrenda for loved ones in the Show Barn. We invite traditional or contemporary ofrenda that explore death on a social, spiritual, cultural, and personal level. We love for the community to participate but we will have a limited number of spots available.

We also would encourage you to approach your ofrenda design in a manner that will encourage community participation if possible. For many attendees, this event will be their first exposure to seeing ofrenda so the more inviting the better. Your ofrenda is your responsibility. Though we anticipate guests will respect the ofrendas, Thanksgiving Point is not responsible for any personal items that may be lost, stolen, or damaged during the event. We encourage you to stay with your ofrendas as much as possible during the event both to connect with visitors and share your memories and creation with them personally, but also to keep your possessions safe. If you are not able to stay with your ofrenda, we recommend you check in on your ofrenda throughout the night. Thanksgiving Point is not responsible for lost or damaged ofrenda items.

 

Día de Muertos is a unique and transformative community event and we are grateful for your collaboration and creativity. We thank you in advance for following these rules to ensure the success and sustainability of the event!
