Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a festive holiday celebrated in November throughout Mexico that celebrates the life of loved ones who have passed. Alfeñiques (decorated sugar skulls) are used to adorn elaborate altars that invite our loved ones to return and help to light their way home. This event is in preparation for the Día de los Muertos reception to be held at the UCSF Library on November 2 at 12:30pm. Additional art supplies will be provided for decorating altars.
Join us in the Parnassus Kalmanovitz Library to learn about the holiday and decorate alfeñiques with us! Please note we have scheduled two sugar skull decorating sessions. The sessions will be held at 12pm and then again at 4pm. Please register accordingly on the UCSF Library event calendar.
