Celebraciones de la Gente with Flagstaff Nuestras Raices
October 26 @ 10:00 am - October 27 @ 4:00 pm
The 21st Annual Celebraciones de la Gente Festival is an unparalleled opportunity to experience the history and culture of Mexican, Mexican American, and LatinX communities in Northern Arizona. Also known as the Day of the Dead, this event is a celebration of life, music, dance, food and heartfelt remembrances.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy cultural dances and music, browse the intricately decorated ofrendas that line the courtyard, and gain insights during presentations by cultural experts.
For the first time at MNA, Mariachi Rubor Femenil will perform on Saturday and Sunday, as well as stroll the Jamie Major Golightly Courtyard during Courtyard After Dark. Additional performances featured will be Ballet Folklorico de Colores.
On Saturday evening the courtyard stays open into the evening so the full impact of the ofrendas can be enjoyed, along with sweet treats and hot drinks.
Don’t miss this fall festival. Invite your friends and family, from this world and the next!
