From pre-Columbian times, the Day of the Dead has been celebrated throughout Mexico and Latin American countries. Today it is celebrated throughout the Americas on November 1 and 2, a time in which the living lovingly pay tribute and remember their departed friends and family members. Remembrances include family visits to the local cemetery, processions through town squares and inventive homemade altars honoring departed family members with photos, “Pan de Muerto” sweet bread and flowers.

This time we will celebrate virtually with our community through the creation of Altar contest. All participants will be published in our social media @artesdemexicoenutah and in the Mexican Consulate page and social media as well.

We are working in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate of Salt Lake City
