Catrinas and Catrins, the whimsical skeletons that you'll see at our 2024 Día de los Mu***os Celebration have an interesting history. These characters were originally created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century as a form of social and political satire. Today, they've become iconic symbols of the holiday, reminding us that even in death, there's room for humor and celebration. And who couldn't use a little more of that!?💃🏻🎉

Don’t miss out on the fun! We’ll be in Central Park this Saturday, Nov. 2 from 4 to 7 p.m., celebrating this vibrant holiday as a community. See you there!💀

Dia de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, is a time-honored tradition that celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed. One of the most meaningful customs is decorating gravesites with vibrant flowers, candles, photos, and offerings— creating a warm, welcoming space to reflect on the memory of our loved ones.

This year, we invite you to honor a loved one by decorating a gravesite at our 2024 Día de los Mu***os Celebration event on November 2 in Central Park! Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so come early to join in this special tradition and share in the beautiful memories. Bring your own decorations, and let's fill the park with love, color, and remembrance!💀🌺

🗓️ Date: November 2
📍 Location: Central Park
🕰️ Time: 4 to 7 p.m.
