Forest Lawn will bring traditional Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) customs to life with in-person events across four Southern California locations. The community celebrations will honor the memories of the dead while illuminating the rich history of the Mexican holiday with vibrant community ofrendas (altars); larger-than-life Catrina and alebrijes (spirit guides) art works; Bob Baker Marionette, folkloric dance, and Mariachi performances; arts & crafts; face painting; refreshments; and food trucks. The free, family-friendly events take place on Sunday, October 27, 2024, from 12:00-3:00 PM at Forest Lawn’s Cypress, Covina Hills, and Glendale locations. The event at Forest Lawn-Cathedral City will take place Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 12:00 – 3:00 PM.
