Dia de los Muertos

For the last five years there is an annual Dia De Los Muertos celebration or «Day of the Dead» celebration at Walker’s Square (9^th and Mineral). It’s meant not to be scary but a remembrance of relatives whom have passed. This was the first year for us. We were there early and played in the nice refurbished park while the tables were being set up. There were three tents set up with different activities like stamping and making decorations on a stick (sponsored by Kohl’s and MAM), this bird house looking thing that I am told was a offernda (offering) or a place where you could set up your own display. That was done by Home Depot. There was only one food truck there Oscars on a roll. The owner came by and gave us some sweet potato fries which was nice since it was so frigid out. We opted not to do the parade because it was so chilly but this was a great community event and we would love to come back. Everyone was so friendly.
