THE TRUE ESSENCE OF HALLOWEEN

All are invited to celebrate the lives of those that have passed on with:
• Candle Lighting
• Ancestral Community Altar
• Spirit Masquerade

Join us in honoring our departed ancestors and friends as the veil between worlds is thought to be thinnest at this time of year.

Many cultures honor the departed on this day with observances like Día de Muertos, Samhain, Giorno dei Morti, and All Souls’ Day. This is our community's co-creation.
