Día de los Muertos 2024
The UCI School of Social Ecology and Northgate González Market are proud to bring you this year’s Día de los Muertos celebration. Join us Nov. 4 at the Irvine Barclay Theatre.
Our Día de los Muertos is all about celebration, education and representation.
At UCI, Latinos make up 25% of the student population. UCI’s School of Social Ecology’s students are comprised of 61% first generation and 46% Latinos. Join us as we honor our Latino community with Día de los Muertos. A student-created physical altar will be the centerpiece of the event, which opens Aztec dance presentation and closes with a lively concert by the two-time Grammy Award winning Mariachi Divas.
In between, guests will be treated to performances by Ballet Folklorico de UCI and other musical entertainment as well as face-painting, sugar skull decorating and more.
Visit our
Ofrendas page
Día de los Muertos is a celebration of life, an opportunity to remember loved ones who have passed and honor their memory through ofrendas — altars that often feature photos of the people being remembered, candles, foods and items specific to them, cempasúchiles (marigolds), papel picado and calaveras (sugar skulls). We encourage you to participate in our digital altar, where you can pay tribute to your deceased loved ones by submitting a photo and dedication.
