Day of the Dead 2011

Day of the Dead  Día de Muertos is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in many cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it attains the quality of a National Holiday, and all banks are closed. The celebration takes place on November 1–2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). 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.

Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead show is a must see annual Atlanta tradition. Held at Young Blood Gallery now through Nov. 27 in Little 5 Points. My husband and I both have a coffin in the show as do friends and many new friends we have made along the way. This has been one of the most fun shows I have ever been involved in.

Opening Night was a huge success! The band kicked ass, the Good Food truck was there to share all the yummy goodness all around. Drinks were pouring and good times were had by all.

Incredible Art to been seen!
