Thursday, October 26, 2023, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Celebrate Día de los Muertos and Halloween at Mission Community Market on Thursday, October 26. Stock up on fall produce, support local farms and food businesses, and join us in celebrating our Mission community. The market will be extra festive with family activities, live music, and more.
- Support your favorite Mission Community Market sellers and pick up locally grown flowers, such as marigolds from Medrano’s Flowers, and ofrenda food items from food crafters such as Bolita (corn masa), Norte54 (pan dulce), and more.
- Bring the kids in costume for family activities like paper flower making and temporary tattoos.
- Contribute to our community ofrenda (offering). Bring photos and mementos to honor loved ones who have died, such as cards, favorite foods, flowers, or other items to add to the altar. We will also provide coloring sheets and paper if you would like to draw or write a memento to contribute.
- Visit Calavera Catrina and pick up papel picado and other beautiful Mexican decorations from pop-up vendor Casa Bonampak, a fair trade importing company dedicated to the preservation of Latino culture and traditions.
- Enjoy live music with Borogroves (4-6pm) at the Little Mission Studio stage.
