The evening will begin with a traditional invocation ritual at sunset, conducted in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English, honoring the rich cultural heritage of this sacred day.
The public is invited to contribute to the building of a community altar by bringing photos of the people you wish to honor. Photos may be taken home at the end of the event.
