Day of the Dead Celebration

Join the Riverview Farmers Market for their iconic Day of the Dead Celebration to honor lost loved ones and the authentic traditions that are part of this Mexican holiday. Local Mexican-American artist Santiago Cohen is the visionary artist behind the giant skeleton puppet parade (12pm) and is joined by traditional Mexican dance group Sueño Americano and Mariachi Oro de Mexico. A community Ofrenda (altar) will be built in the gazebo and will be available from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. The community is encouraged to bring photos or offerings to lost loved ones to contribute to the Ofrenda. The event will feature free family entertainment, face painting sponsored by Rudo Plants & Home, juggling, live music, a lineup of more than 30+ vendors, and more!

The Riverview Neighborhood Association will also be hosting their annual Pet Costume Contest during the celebration. Judging begins at 1pm. Please arrive early to register.
