Join the Notre Dame Faculty and Staff of International Descent in celebrating the Day of the Dead in partnership with Adelante ND and Athletics. This celebration will take place in Heritage Hall on the second floor of the Joyce Center.
Día de los Muertos is a day of celebration for people in Latin America, particularly in Mexico and Central America, as well as our current community of Mexican Americans. They choose to commemorate the lives of the dearly departed and welcome the return of their spirits through food, drink, and celebration.
We will have delicious, authentic food, including tamales and pan de muerto, as well as a presentation from Professor Jenny Padilla as we honor and celebrate the tradition and culture of Día de Muertos.
Get ready for face painting and traditional paper crafts for everyone to enjoy. We can't wait to see you there!
