Celebrate Día de los Muertos in 2020
Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is an annual celebration practiced in many Spanish-speaking countries with Indigenous roots. Each culture holds its own traditions but the shared purpose is celebrating and honoring the dead. For the past three years, Jennie King Mellon Library has held a Día de los Muertos event series as part of National Latinx Heritage Month. The celebrations continue in 2020. Join JKM virtually this week for two Día de los Muertos celebrations and check out additional ways to celebrate the holiday below:
Whether you grew up celebrating Día de los Muertos or you’re just learning about the tradition, we hope you honor the spirit of this holiday by connecting with those you care about. And if you’re interested, be sure to register for JKM’s virtual event series.
