About the event
SCHOOL OF SOCIAL ECOLOGY AND NORTHGATE GONZÁLEZ MARKET PRESENT FREE EVENT
UCI’s School of Social Ecology hosts Día de los Muertos, presented by Northgate González Market. This free event, complete with live music, ceremony, dance, a virtual and physical altar, customary foods, face-painting and crafts, will immerse attendees in the rich Mexican tradition of honoring and remembering deceased loved ones.
“The School of Social Ecology has the most Latino students (46%) on campus and presenting our Día de los Muertos event is a way of honoring our Latino culture,” says Jon Gould, dean of the School. “It’s a beautiful tradition that helps us embrace our students, educate the community and honor our ancestors.”
