We are very excited to be hosting MEXICAN WRESTLING once again this year! Kids demonstration at 4pm!

We’re also excited to have Mexican performer Karina Salgado back this year as our MC and host for the night! She will be delivering a very unique performance during the night.

Finally we have, as always, a traditional OFRENDA (“altar”) which is always a part of Day of the Dead Celebrations in Mexico and around the World.

Get your face painted and learn a little about how vast and deep Hispanic culture is – eat some “Pan De Muertos” and reflect on what’s important as we mark the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead by enjoying the best in life!
