EL DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS: The community is invited to a celebration with live mariachi music, sugar skull decorating, folk arts, and more on November 1 from 1-3 p.m. at the Princeton Shopping center.

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) invites the community to join in its annual Day of the Dead Community Celebration on Saturday, November 1 from 1–3 p.m. at the Princeton Shopping Center. This free, family-friendly festival honors El Día de Los Muertos, a vibrant Mexican tradition that celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed.

Celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world, El Día de Los Muertos brings together art, music, and storytelling as a joyful remembrance of those who have gone before us. For more than 20 years, the ACP has proudly hosted this event, welcoming the community to learn about and take part in this rich cultural holiday.

This year’s celebration will feature an afternoon filled with crafts inspired by traditional Mexican folk art, including sugar skull decorating, metal tooling, paper flower making, and more. Attendees can also enjoy live mariachi music by Mariachi Los Tigres de Princeton, brews by Triumph Brewing Company, and the creation of a community altar.

Visitors of all ages are encouraged to participate. For more information, visit artscouncilofprinceton.org.
