The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a holiday with complex Mayan and Aztec roots combined with Catholic and native customs that joyfully memorializes the dead ancestors. It is celebrated throughout the day and night. November 1st and 2nd. It is a very festive time when beloved family members, children, friends and even pets from the afterlife return to the land of living and are reunited with the living. Although close to Halloween, the Day of the Dead in Mexico is a colorful and joyful celebration welcoming the souls to be with the living.

Altars & Procession
Everyone attending the event is invited to bring a picture of a loved one, leave a prayer or an offering to place on the altars to honor those who have given us strength and love. We will have one altar for family and friends and one altar for pets. And there will be a candlelight procession at sunset honoring our Beloved Deceased.
Entertainment
Asheville is fortunate to have a local WNC Mexican organized cultural youth organization from the Emma area of West Asheville. The name of this performance troupe is Raices. Raices’ mission is to strengthen the cultural indigenous identity and traditions of US born children of Mexican descent, particularly of Hidalgo, Mexico. This area of Mexico is strongly represented in Asheville. These indigenous traditions and language of Otomi are slowly getting lost on their children growing up in modern American culture.
Therefore, Raices’ goal is to bring a positive influence in their children’s lives through the dance, art, and culture of Latin America. Composed of twenty 12–22-year-old youth, they will grace our Day of Dead fundraiser event in person with vibrant costumes and traditional Chiapan and Sinaloan dances.
