Day of the Dead is a national holiday in Mexico and a tradition in other countries. This week's events are co-sponsored by El Centro and Casa Zapata. The headline event begins in the Main Quad with a presentation of the altars along with a performance by Danza Azteca. Afterward, a procession will march from the Main Quad to Old Union Courtyard, where there will be a Muwekma Ohlone Tribe Blessing, storytelling, poetic readings and performances by Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford and Ballet Folklorico de Stanford.
All events are free and open to the public.
