Join Us to Celebrate Community & Culture: The R.I.S.E. Día de los Muertos Festival
Our Día de los Muertos celebration is a vibrant, immersive festival where culture, art, and community come alive. It is a free, family-friendly event where every sense is engaged—from the scent of marigolds filling the air to the powerful sounds of live Mariachi music.
This is a place to connect and celebrate. You can marvel at the polished chrome and intricate murals of a classic Lowrider Car Show, feel a sense of peace while viewing the breathtaking community altars (ofrendas), and explore a marketplace of delicious food and unique artisanal crafts.
But it’s more than a spectacle. It is a space for connection and well-being. We offer whole-person healing services like free massages and acupuncture, provide haircuts and hair braiding, and host fun, culturally rich activities for children.
In short, it’s a day-long celebration of life, memory, and the enduring spirit of our Berkeley community. Join us on Saturday, October 25th, for an unforgettable experience.
