The celebration known as Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead honors family, community and loved ones who have passed away.

A Minnesota Latino-led nonprofit organization will host its annual recognition of the day during an event at Midtown Global Market Saturday.

In partnership with Midtown Global Market, nonprofit organization CLUES will host the event on Nov. 2, which will include art workshops, a community altar, traditional dancing and more.

Día de los Muertos starts on November 1 and runs until November 2.

Carla Manzoni is director of arts and cultural engagement at CLUES and says that in Mexico and some parts of Latin America, Día de los Muertos marks the day when deceased loved ones return to visit the living.

“We embrace this beautiful celebration that brings us together and really helps us preserve the memories of our loved ones,” Manzoni said.

She said the celebration honors family, community and loved ones who have passed away, integrating Indigenous and Catholic traditions.

“I remember my grandmother going to the graves of loved ones and cleaning and bringing flowers and really trying to remember the family members who are no longer with us,” Manzoni said.

The event is from noon to 3 p.m
