Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. If you would like to place a basket of food or offerings for your loved ones you can do so from now to when the dance begins Friday at 7pm. We have also set down candles you can touch and say a name for a loved one to honor them.

of those you wish to honour.
