DAY OF THE DEAD

Local students are learning about the Day of the Dead and creating an altar to showcase at the 10th annual Dia De Los Muertos at Hemisfair.

Artists and community members create an altar in honor of the 53 migrants who died after being smuggled in the back of a trailer. The altar also memorializes the victims of the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, New York.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead is celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2 as a celebration of tradition and pre-Hispanic rituals that date back to more than 3000 years ago.
