The Ethnic Studies Department will celebrate the 11th Annual Day of the Dead event on Saturday, November 1, from 5 - 8 p.m at the Stan State Art Space located at 226 N 1st Street in Turlock. This event is free and open to the public.
Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) is an indigenous Mexican holiday when people remember and honor their deceased loved ones. Unlike the spooky tone of Halloween, the atmosphere of the Day of the Dead is colorful and festive as the lives of those who have passed on are celebrated.
