~~  " THE MARIGOLD PROJECT INVITES YOU TO THE 28TH ANNUAL
FESTIVAL OF ALTARS!

On November 2nd, the Day of the Dead Festival of Altars will be held in Potrero Del Sol Park aka. La Raza Park. Please come and participate in building an altar or come to view the community altars!

The Day of the Dead Festival of Altars brings our communities together to celebrate our most meaningful events—life and death in one spirit. We create five community altars to symbolize our connection to the earth and our ancestors.The making and viewing of traditional, contemporary, or experimental altars is a unique transformative experience connecting us closer to our Ancestors. 

Five altars are designed and built collaboratively by artists and community in all disciplines. Each shrine will represent an element, a universal symbol, and a stage of life.

NOTE: This is a family alcohol free event. Please respect the sacredness of our event. All are welcome to participate in the sharing of culture, healing, and celebrating the lives of our ancestors. Please come with your flowers, photos, 8 inch glass prayer candles, offerings, love, and mementos of loved ones to contribute to the Community Altars. Email questions to: DODaltars@gmail.com.
