2021 Dia de los Muertos Celebration
October 29, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - November 1, 2021 @ 12:00 pm
FreeOn an annual basis, the Davis Cemetery District holds a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on our grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous-influenced rituals, honoring mother earth and all ancestors, and is part of an effort to create a community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of the cultural richness in our multicultural society.
Due to the high transmission rates of COVID-19 in the county, the district has made the difficult decision to modify this year’s celebration, keeping health and safety our highest priority.
