The WAGRO Foundation, alongside local partners like the Lynnwood Library and Verdant Health Commission, invites the public to a free Day of the Dead celebration on November 1 from 11:30 a. m. to 4 p. m. at the Lynnwood Library.
This event honors the lives of deceased loved ones through traditional ceremonies and cultural activities. Attendees will experience a traditional Aztec ceremony led by Danza Azteca Yolihuani, followed by music performances from Orquesta Northwest. Families can participate in art workshops, face painting, and the children’s contest “Catrincitas y Catrincitos. ” A Community Altar will serve as a shared space for remembrance, encouraging guests to bring photos or mementos of loved ones. Free tamales, coffee, and pan de muerto will be available, enhancing the festive atmosphere.
This celebration not only honors cultural traditions but also strengthens community bonds in Lynnwood. For inquiries, attendees can contact the WAGRO Foundation via email or phone.
