FEATURING:
In Mexico the first two days of November are celebrated as Dia de los
Muertos (Day of the Dead). During this special time of year, families and
friends gather to remember those who have passed away. The celebration has
ancient roots, stretching back to the time of the Aztecs. In the United States,
Dia de los Muertos has become increasingly popular with people of many
cultural backgrounds.
On Sunday, November 5 the Mtn. View Historical Association invites
you to join us for our second annual Mountain View Dia de los Muertos
celebration. This event will take place at the historic Adobe Building and
will feature a short presentation on the history of Mountain View’s only
cemetery, traditional dances by Raices de Mexico and a live performance by
Northern California’s premier mariachi band, Mariachi Tapatio, of San Jose!
Tickets are free for all MVHA members. A $5 donation is suggested (but
not required) for guests and non-members. Capacity is limited in the Adobe
Building and last year’s event sold out, so be sure to secure your tickets today
by visiting: http://mvhistory.eventbrite.com/ or calling (650) 903-6890.
Attendees are invited to participate by sharing photos of their ancestors to
be included in a special Mtn. View-themed Dia de los Muertos altar. Drop
photos off at the Library c/o Candace Bowers any time before November 1.
