5th Annual Souls of the City: Dia de Los Muertos

Sol Collective and the Sacramento History Museum have teamed up to present a series of the 5th Annual Souls of the City. The annual tradition is showcased by friends and families building elaborate altars to honor loved ones who have died then gathering in remembrance and celebration. This celebration includes a traditional procession and lighting of the altar led by Kalpulli Maquilli Tonatiuh (Aztec dancers), interactive community altars, live music, a pop up art exhibit, family activities and games, food, face painting, live music, and more. This symbolic “gathering of the spirits” celebration offers Sacramento area residents and Old Sacramento visitors a chance to experience and learn more about the cultural tradition that is highlighted by traditional Aztec dancing, the building of the altar with personal items, intricate offerings of orange marigolds on the altar, and much more.
