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
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.
All ages, faiths and cultures are welcome.
Children are welcome but are asked to stay with family and to maintain respectful quiet during the first hour of the event.
Dress for cool temps (around 55º) and for walking on uneven ground or gravel. This event is rain or shine.
Please arrive at least 20 minutes early to allow time to park and walk to the event. It will begin promptly at 5:30.
Food and drinks will be for sale outside the mine before and after the event.
Hallowed means sacred or holy, together we create this connection.
A Day of the Dead celebration, a tradition observed by many cultures worldwide, honors the lives of the departed. Rooted in ancient Aztec, Celtic, Christian, and Indigenous American customs, this observance commemorates the return of ancestral spirits and celebrates the cycle of life and death. We are working with people from all of these cultures to bring this evening to you.
On this day, the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be thinnest, offering a unique opportunity for connection and remembrance. Here, we create a new tradition that honors the past while addressing the needs of our diverse community today.
