About: Our annual Dia de Los Muertos/ Day of the Dead event includes a processional, large­ scale altar, performing Aztec dancers, traditional Mexican refreshments, club, sorority and fraternity altars, student artwork, and a cross section of students, faculty, staff and local community members. The Day of the Dead Event includes a series of hands-on workshops, interdisciplinary class presentations, support for the development of club altars, and the preparation of materials such as paper banners, flower arches, student temporary digital projects, and community youth projects. These affiliated workshops and events are part of the larger celebration of Dia de Los Muertos/ Day of the Dead, which will occur on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Visual & Public Art Complex.

This year's event will include face painting at the Student Center, Aztec dancers, drummers, a processional, musical performances, and a community gathering at the VPA Complex (Building 70). The event will include a collaborative community altar composed of work from students in classes across the CSUMB campus as well as altars made by students in the Day of the Dead class. This event also introduces diverse aspects of our campus community and regional cultures.
