Step into a world of vibrant traditions and heartfelt remembrance at Esther Short Park as we gather to celebrate Luminaria Día de Muertos, a Day of the Dead ancestral celebration hosted and organized by Vancouver Ballet Folklórico in collaboration with local supporting organizations. This event pays homage to the ancient indigenous tradition of Día de Muertos, a celebration of life, love, and healing that predates colonization.

Join us for an enchanting evening filled with the warm glow of luminarias, each flickering light a symbol of remembrance for those who have departed. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Mexican culture with traditional dances and traditional music, and the presence of guest artists who will weave their artistry into the fabric of this special occasion.

Witness the captivating allure of catrinas and explore the ofrenda, a sacred altar adorned with offerings and memories of our beloved deceased. This free, family-friendly event is open to all, embracing the community in a spirit of togetherness and understanding. Rain or shine, we come together to honor the legacy of Dia de Muertos and create cherished memories that bridge the past with the present.

Mark your calendar and join us for a celebration that transcends time—a luminous tribute to life, love, and the enduring spirit of Dia de Muertos.
