Fri, Oct 30 at 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Channing Social Hall,First Unitarian Church Of Dallas 4015 Normandy Ave, Dallas, TX, 75205 TX
As the autumn air settles into North Texas, it’s time to gather in remembrance, joy, and community. We are thrilled to invite you, your family, and friends to our upcoming Día de Muertos Potluck, Art Display, & Celebration this Friday evening!
Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a beautiful tradition rooted in honoring and celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed on. Rather than a time of mourning, it is a vibrant festival of life, memories, shared stories, and cultural heritage.
The turning of the seasons teaches us: all that dies is not lost, but transformed.
Join Earth Centered Spirituality for our most popular and meaningful event of the year, honoring the depth and joy of Día de Muertos while uplifting the beauty of Mexican culture. Together, we will celebrate life, memory, and community through food, art, music, and ceremony.
🖌 Community Art Display
You’re invited to create a mini-ofrenda out of a cereal box (or other medium) before the event to add to our collective art installation. (Short on time? We have a limited number of blank altars ready for you to decorate.
