A temporary Dia De Mu***os altar where you can honor loved ones, bring a photo or something that reminds you of them to honor their memory during the event and then take it home!

We encourage you to wear your costumes, enjoy free Dia de Mu***os face painting, and great community vibes—no dress code, but you know it’s Halloween weekend! UCLA Alumni and Student orgs/groups will also be tabling and mixing it up with the crowd as well!
