Día de Muertos

Workshop for the Whole Family!

ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE CHURCH

17 S. Whig Street; Trumansburg, NY

TCFA presents our second annual Día de Muertos celebration. This fun mask-making event is one for all family members to enjoy. As part of our On the Road series, it will be held at St. James the Apostle Church, 17 S. Whig Street in Trumansburg.



A Mexican holiday tradition, Día de Muertos typically involves gathering to celebrate friends and family members who have passed with an altar or ofrendas lined with pictures of the dearly departed and their favorite foods. It is also known as Day of the Dead, All Saint’s Day or All Souls’ Day. 

This event will include an arts and crafts room for making Día de Muertos masks and crepe paper flower hair accessories. The event will also feature an ofrendas where traditional foods are to be shared and enjoyed. Patrons are welcome to bring pictures of departed family, friends, and pets to place on the ofrendras.

The event is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated.
