STEP INTO THE TRUE ESSENCE OF HALLOWEEN
Join us in honoring our departed ancestors and friends as the
veil between worlds is thought to be thinnest at this time of year.
Many cultures honor the departed on this day with observances like
Día de Muertos, Samhain, Giorno dei Morti, and All Souls’ Day.
This is our community's co-creation.
The evening begins with silent candle lighting, followed by a
community masquerade celebrating the lives of those that have passed on.
