Traditional Dia de Los Muertos night celebrations take place all over the world every year. Inspired by other cities' events, Noche de Altares Milwaukee was established. We work in partnership with local schools, organizations and community members in order to craft an evening of remembrance and peace for children, adults, and pets who we've lost to the spirit world. Education lies at the heart of this celebration, we seek to raise understanding of this sacred tradition, in hopes that it may assist people throughout their healing process.
Please join us in our 3rd year of this nighttime Dia de Los Muertos celebration!
