A Night of Remembrance and Celebration
Celebrate the lives of those that have passed on with:
• Candle Lighting
• Ancestral Community Altar
• Spirit Masquerade
STEP INTO THE TRUE ESSENCE OF HALLOWEEN
Each year we gather to honor our departed ancestors and friends,
at the time of year when the veil between worlds is thought to be thinnest.
Many cultures mark this passage — Día de Muertos, Samhain, Giorno dei Morti, and All Souls’ Day.
Hallowed is our community’s co-creation, drawing on ancient Aztec, Celtic, Christian and Indigenous American customs,
made with people from all of these traditions.
The evening begins with silent candle lighting, followed by a
community masquerade celebrating the lives of those that have passed on.
Hallowed means sacred or holy. Together, we create this connection.
