Dia de los Muertos Public Alter Lighting Ceremony Description:
FREE PUBLIC ALTAR LIGHTING CEREMONY

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST, FROM 5:30PM – 7:30PM

In following tradition, the Center will erect its own 12’ Public Altar, designed by local sculptor Jim Callahan, at the end of October to be decorated in lights, golden butterflies, and portraits of Sonoma Valley’s passed loved ones and lost “heroes.” The community is invited to participate in our annual celebration of those who have passed with activities for all generations.

The Public Altar will be available for viewing from Sept. 28 – Oct 3. Sonoma Community Center is not responsible for donated photos or mementos left at the Altar.
