The California Center for the Arts, Escondido Presents the 23rd Annual Día de los Muertos Festival

Escondido, Ca. – October 23, 2018 – North County’s biggest Día de los Muertos Festival gets even bigger as it spans almost the entire California Center for the Arts campus, and moves from one day to three days beginning Nov. 1st and going through Nov. 3rd!
EVENTS:
Nov. 1st: 23rd Annual Día de los Muertos Festival (5pm-9pm)
Come and celebrate el Día de los Muertos with music, art, ballet folklorico, and more! This year we celebrate our 23rd annual Festival, and it is going to be better than ever. As always, attendees will be able to create altars to remember lost loved ones in a special area created by artist Eloy Tarcisio, and we will have face painting, arts & crafts, and more.
This year we will also be starting out the festivities with a procession led by Public Address artist Luis Ituarte. The procession will begin at 5pm at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido footbridge and then circle through Grape Day Park, and end at a special ofrenda created in the Center’s Museum honoring three departed members of the regional artist group Public Address, whose work is being highlighted at the Museum through November 18th.
The event will also include a traditional blessing by Calpulli Omeyocan, ballet folklórico by Tierra Caliente Academy of Arts, live music by Tavo & Mariachi 3.0, handmade vendors, and a variety of food trucks to enjoy
