“In Mexico we decorate graveyards, in Sherman Heights we decorate the neighborhood.” 

The Día de los Muertos celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center is a month-long community festivity that preserves the Day of the Dead tradition, itself an millennial practice. This celebration began in 1994, when Sr. Sandoval, a local resident approached the Center requesting a space to create an altar in honor of his loved ones during Día de los Muertos. Over the years the festivity has grown to include onsite community altars, front-yard altars throughout the neighborhood, craft workshops, online tutorials and videos, an activity guide, student tours and food tastings, a festival, a procession and two fundraising events. The tradition is a joyous occasion when the memory of our ancestors and the continuity of life is celebrated. Festivities run from early Oct- Nov. 2nd and are open to the public.
