Esperanza Del Valle

The annual Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration is a weekend-long cultural festival that commemorates and honors the lives of our departed loved ones through dance, music, teatro and community. There will be a variety of fun, family-oriented Day of the Dead activities November 2-4 including viewing of Altars at El Teatro Campesino Playhouse a dance show featuring Esperanza del Valle. Most activities are FREE to the public, but please purchase a ticket to come inside the playhouse for the Esperanza del Valle shows.
