The Day of the Dead cultural event at Lynnwoodโ€™s City Hall. Lynnwood Times/Bo John Brusco.

Please join us for this FREE event to celebrate the Day of the Dead, one of the most important Mexican holidays. Traditionally celebrated on November 1st or 2nd, it is a time for families to honor and celebrate their ancestors. People also dress as catrinas (skeletons) and write poems (often satirical) called calaveritas literarias (literary skulls).

This Day of the Dead celebration, sponsored by the WAGRO (Washington-Guerrero) Foundation in collaboration with the City of Lynnwood, features a contest of Altars, Catrinas, and Calaveritas Literarias and is calling for contestants. A panel of judges will determine the winners in each category for first, second and third place which include monetary prizes. This event is imperative due to the fact that it creates a special shared space for healing, comfort, and reflection. We invite you to visit and contribute your own ofrenda to the Community Altar that will be exhibited at the front of the event entrance and we encourage attendees to place a photo or memento on the โ€œDรญa de los Muertosโ€ community altar.

This yearโ€™s event will feature art, music, food, raffles, competitions, and kidโ€™s activities. Music will feature world-renowned, singer-songwriter Paco Diez from Spain.

Everyone in the community, regardless of background, is welcomed to honor a lost family member, friend, pet or even a historical figure who is important to you.

Those interested in participating must apply no later than October 22nd by emailing wagrofoundation@gmail.com
