Events › Día de Muertos Community Altar

Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November. It honors the lives of family members, friends, and others who have passed away. During this time the dead are reunited with the living and fondly remembered.

We respectfully invite the community to participate in creating an altar by submitting photos of departed loved ones and pets. Photos can be submitted by email to ant@library.cccounty.us or copies of photos* may be given at the service desk until October 30th. Everyone is welcome to take part in and view the altar that will be on display through November 4th.

*No original photos will be accepted; a scanner is available for use at the library to scan the photo for electronic submission to the altar.

Generously supported by the Friends of the Antioch Library.
