Dia de los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday generally observed Nov. 1 and 2 to coincide with All Souls Day.

This traditional Mexican holiday the City of Vacaville honored again this year.  Local residents came out in droves and all had a good time learning about the cultural aspects of this celebration!

It was an opportunity to honor loved ones with food, drink and celebration. Family members brought photos, marigolds and electric candles to decorate the Day of The Dead altar.

The Peña Adobe Historical Society joined the City of Vacaville‘s Annual Día de los Muertos celebration — a heartfelt tribute to this beautiful and time-honored Mexican tradition. The celebration was held on Saturday Nov, 1st at Andrews Park from 4:00PM - 7:00PM.  The free event was well attended with everyone bringing family photos to decorate The Dead Altar; candles and marigolds were provided. Everyone enjoyed the music and folklorico dancers and the food and non-food vendors.
