Celebrate those who have passed on and learn about the culture, traditions, and history of the Day of the Dead. You can find events across town throughout October and into the first week of November!
Día de los Muertos is a 2-day holiday that began in Mexico and is traditionally celebrated across Latin America and beyond. During these two days, it is believed that the passage between the real world and the spirit world opens, allowing deceased loved ones to come back and visit their living relatives. Traditions and customs vary in different places, but the base beliefs remain the same.
This holiday offers a unique and colorful perspective on death that turns a sad fact of life into something beautiful. We invite the community to bring copies of pictures of their loved one to add to our community offerndas. The community may bring offers, but please do not bring anything you do not want back. The Cheyenne Botanic Gardens provide a welcoming space for people to celebrate their culture. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this community celebration and open their eyes to cultures and traditions that they might have never known about.
