Día de los muertos 2022

  • Día de los muertos 2022 @ UofL and Louisville

    Our celebrations in Louisville attempt to bridge cultural borders by trying to observe the Day of The Dead like Mexicans continue to commemorate it. Local citizens of Mexicans descend can remember their deceased loved ones like their relatives living in Mexico do. The festivities allow people in Louisville to experience a taste of this important holiday on the way Mexicans relate to the dead. This year we have expanded the celebration to include the following:
