Originally an indigenous tradition, Dias de Muertos has evolved through time with diverse cultural influences. It is a celebration of life that commemorates passed ancestors and all life forms. Dias de Muertos can include people, animals and nature. In Salinas, Dias de Muertos has brought together people from all cultures through art, music, dance, costumes, make-up, food and celebration for generations.

The CSUMB Salinas Center for Arts and Culture is housed within CSUMB @ Salinas City Center and strives to create a community of artist and culture of activism in Salinas.

Hosting open community events is in keeping with CSUMB’s role as a community resource, providing forums for provocative discussions that can impact thought and action on issues important to our community.
