ByLocal Sources Reading Time: 1 minute

ALASI (Asociación Latinoamericana del Sur de Indiana) is creating an Alta de Muertos at the Jasper Thyen-Clark Cultural Center on Wednesday, October 25, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Come Build the Altar: is an event that allows individuals to pay homage to loved ones who have passed away. You are welcome to bring a framed picture of your loved ones who have passed away to adorn the altar, which will be on display until November 2 for the Day of the Dead celebration.

All families, associations, businesses, schools, and groups from Dubois County and surrounding counties are encouraged to participate. You can also frame a poem, story, drawing, picture of your pets or anything related to the Day of the Dead.

Then, Día de Muertos, A Community Celebration. This vibrant and colorful celebration, observed on November 1st and 2nd each year, represents a unique fusion of indigenous customs, colonial influences, and contemporary culture. These elements converge to create an emotional, soul-liberating, heart-cleansing, and grief-resilient celebration of life and death, honoring the achievements of our departed loved ones who are no longer with us.
