Día de los Muertos

October 31 – November 2

Día de los Muertos, is a Mexican tradition that celebrates the lives and memories of loved ones who have passed away. Rooted in Indigenous traditions, it is a time for families and communities to come together through ofrendas (altars), marigolds, photographs, music, food, and storytelling.

At Pasadena City College, EQUIPO, ALE, PRIDE, the Transfer Center, Office of Student Life, Noncredit Division, Associated Students, and many more come together each year to celebrate Día de los Muertos. Join us as we learn about this meaningful tradition, celebrate our cultures, share stories, and remember our ancestors and loved ones who came before us.
