The crowd pleasing Ballet Folklorico Costa de Oro proudly presents a vibrant and sacred journey celebrating Dia de los Muertos: Fiesta en el Panteon; hi-lighting the love between two people and the possibilltites of surviving the afterlife

Dia de los Muertos is a festive time of remembrance in which families decorate the tombs of deceased relatives and install memorial altars where special offerings are laid out with the intention of calling home the spirits of the dead. These altars can include everything from candles, pan de muerto (sugar coated breads), photographs, musical instruments and a variety of other mementos to remember those who have departed the earth.

Developed from ancient traditions of pre-Columbian civilizations, the annual ritual evolved over centuries in Mexico and the rest of Latin America and is gaining popularity as practice throughout the United States.
