Viva La Vida
Santa Ana
Santa Ana’s Dia De Los Muertos Festival!
Altars
Community members pay tribute to loved ones by building beautiful altars adorned with photos, flowers, special foods, and candles. Each item holding a special meaning and significance. The streets will be lined with beautiful memories and the air will be alive with a celebration of life that only dia de muertos can provide.
La Catrina
As the day turns to night, la Catrina emerges among a procession visiting each altar, lighting the first candle in a beautiful ceremony. The glow of the candlelight transforms the scene and transports you to a magical land.
Live Entertainment
Enjoy live entertainment throughout the day and into the evening brought to you by our friends at Kilson Street.
