Día de Muertos

Día de Muertos

Join us for our Día de Muertos celebration on November 1, 2023, from 6-8 PM at the University YMCA!

Día de Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, is a Latin American holiday where families welcome the souls of their deceased loved ones. Although this holiday is thought to be a sad holiday, it is not! Dia de los Muertos is about celebration and to be reminded of the moments we shared with those who have passed.

This year, join La Casa for various Día de Muertos events around campus!
