In 2021, The Asistencia commenced a new practice with Dia de los Muertos and received a fantastic community response. We are excited to continue the annual celebration on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 12:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
At its core, this holiday reunites and honors beloved ancestors, family, and friends who have departed.
We are fortunate to have amazing volunteers spearhead this event. They are developing educational and cultural programs, excellent entertainment, and creating relevant children’s activities.
Therefore, we ask for your support by attending the event (suggested $5 donation), volunteering, reserving an ofrenda (altar), or corporate sponsorship.
Admission: suggested $5 donation (please register your interest in the Tickets section of Eventbright)
One aspect of the traditional observance of this celebration is the preparation of an “ofrenda”- or offering – to the members of one’s family who are departed. The creation of this table may include photos of the deceased, favorite foods, or objects used or beloved by them. If you would like to participate in this meaningful ritual to honor your loved ones and welcome them to the celebration, you can reserve an ofrenda by selecting the ticket option. Ticket purchase of an ofrenda includes using a 6' table and black tablecloth. You and your family can decorate the ofrenda before the event. Contact Heather Ross (info@redlandsconservancy.org) to coordinate or for any questions.
Like all events we have, all funds raised at this event go towards the Asistencia's operations and restoration. We have a long list of projects that need attention so residents and visitors can continue to enjoy this historic landmark for 200+ more years!
This is a no-pets event. Please leave Fido at home: no smoking or vaping.
