Día de los Muertos is a time for remembering and honoring the lives of those who have passed. This year’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) theme draws attention to systematic racial inequities and calls on people to exercise their right to vote in honor of those who have lost their lives.

This is the fourth year in which renowned Latino local artists Fulgencio Lazo, will build an altar/ofrenda for the exhibit incorporating beautiful artistic expression into our Día de los Muertos Exhibit.

Opening night is expected to draw between 1200-1500 individuals and families for the festivities. The event incorporates the organization’s cultural traditions through ofrendas conceptualized and created by a diverse representation of local community groups. Opening day presentations include Banda Gozona, Danza Azteca, Duo Finelli, Grupo Folklorico Violeta Parra, Salsa n’ Seattle. Presentations will take place at the Centilia Cultural Center, El Centro’s new event space.
Admission to the event is free and includes children’s activities and a variety of cultural entertainment. A free dinner will be served.

El Centro de la Raza’s 2016 Día de los Muertos Celebration is supported by the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, 4 Culture, Washington State Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts and Seattle Public Utilities, with media sponsorship by KUOW 94.9.
