This celebration will feature traditional Pan de Muertos tasting (traditional bread), face painting, skulls and masks coloring, “papel picado”, paper flower making, and an exhibition of community altars where participants can create personalized altars to honor deceased loved ones.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday that honors those who have passed by celebrating their memory with vibrant altars and offerings. CSN’s celebration offers students, staff, and the community an opportunity to connect with these traditions, share memories, and reflect on the lives of those who have passed in a meaningful way.
