Press release from Centro del Pueblo:

In times when fear and division are used to silence us, we choose to gather, to remember, and to celebrate. We will keep practicing our culture, which lives, grows, and flourishes in the community. Now more than ever, we need to walk together, because our strength comes from our roots and from the solidarity that binds us. El Dia de Muertos - The Day of the Dead celebration continues as an act of love, memory, and resistance. We invite everyone to join us, because together we defend our freedom and our joy to live fully with Peace and Dignity.

Centro del Pueblo is proud to invite the Humboldt County community to its 8th Annual Día de Muertos celebration on Saturday Sunday, November 2, from 4 to 6 PM at The Eureka Theater, 612 F Street, Eureka. This free, family-friendly event will honor the vibrant Mexican tradition of remembering and celebrating loved ones who have passed away. The celebration will feature Mercadito, community altars, Danz###a Azteca, Catrinas, Mariachi Mar Pacifico and Mariachi de Centro del Pueblo, Teatro del Pueblo performances, Bailes Folklórico from Fortuna, Eureka, and Arcata, with special guests from our Youth council from CDP and Latinx Clubs from Mckinleyville and Eureka. Attendees are encouraged to bring offerings, photos, or small items to place on the community altar in remembrance of their loved ones.

“Día de Muertos is a time to honor our ancestors, celebrate their lives, and keep their memory alive through music, art, and community,” said Brenda Pérez, Executive Director of Centro del Pueblo. “This is a cultural celebration that welcomes everyone, whether they are familiar with the tradition or experiencing it for the first time.”

This event is part of Centro del Pueblo’s ongoing efforts to celebrate Indigenous heritage and the cultural revitalization of our communities in Humboldt County and to create inclusive spaces for intercultural dialogue, healing, and community building. To conclude these celebrations, we invite you to join our annual Procession for Immigrants Rights From Fortuna to Eureka on November 8th, details in flyer attached.
