**City Of Las Vegas Celebrates **Dia De Los Muertos Nov. 2* *

"Bring The Family To Lorenzi Park Or Pop Squires Park For The Festivals"

" "

     The city of Las Vegas offers two fun family festivals in honor of "Dia de Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) – one in central Las Vegas at Lorenzi Park and one in northwest Las Vegas at Pop Squires Park. Both celebrations are free and open to the public Saturday, Nov. 2.

 

    The annual festival at Sammy Davis Jr. Festival Plaza in Lorenzi Park from 3 to 9 p.m. offers live entertainment, artisan vendors, food, interactive children’s activities, face painting, special décor and an exhibition of altars created by community organizations and groups. This vibrant homage to life is a true community event and one of the most charming and colorful holidays celebrated by Mexican and Latin American cultures. Produced by the city of Las Vegas, this lighthearted and joyful tribute honors the memory of family and friends who have passed away in a fun and immersive atmosphere. Located at 720 Twin Lakes Drive on the west end of the park, the plaza offers lawn seating; bring blankets and low-back chairs to be more comfortable.

 

     Ward 6 Councilwoman Nancy Brune and the Village of Centennial Springs small businesses are partnering to create a vibrant night of community and culture from 5 to 10 p.m. during the "Dia de Los Muertos" Family Fiesta! Families can browse local market vendors, then enjoy a special screening of the animated film “"Coco,”" all under the stars at Pop Squires Park, located at the corner of Nicklin Street and Garside Drive. Refreshments will be available for purchase. Local vendors are invited to apply to be event vendors; fill out the application form at https://bit.ly/DiadelosMuertos_Fiesta [ https://cityoflasvegas.formstack.com/forms/dia_de_los_muertos_movie?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].

 

     Sugar skulls are used annually during the "Dia de los Muertos" holiday. Celebrated primarily in central and southern Mexico, the holiday is observed Nov. 1-2, most notably with decorated "ofrendas". The Day of the Dead is increasingly observed in the United States as a way to honor and celebrate our loved ones who have passed on.
