“Lake Worth, FL; October 26, 2016 – The Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and LULA Lake Worth Arts in cooperation with R Dot Photography, will be hosting the first annual Día de Los Muertos festival on Saturday, November 5th.
     Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a traditional time meant to honor deceased relatives, celebrate the living, and entice the spirits to visit with flower-decked altars and offerings of food. One of South and Central America’s most distinctive holidays, Dia De Los Muertos, is considered a day of cheerful celebration rather than one of mourning.
     Keeping with that spirit, LULA Lake Worth Arts invites the public to enjoy this FREE evening event which will be full of fun for the whole family. Join us on Saturday, November 5th at the newly renovated Lake Worth Arts Center located at 1121 Lucerne Avenue.
     The Day of the Dead celebration will feature authentic Central American cuisine, traditional folkloric dances, a classic car show, a processional walk, cultural arts and crafts, and children’s activities. The public is also welcome to wear their Halloween costumes to the event.
     The Armory Art Center will host an exhibition titled, 'Va!' that consists of several community built decorated altars. Featured artist Kyle Smile will also be hosting a secondary arts exhibition. The fun begins at 4:30 pm.”

The schedule of events is listed below:

4:30 pm—Processional walk will begin at Lake Worth City Hall, 7 North Dixie Highway. Procession will end at the Lake Worth Arts Center located at 1121 Lucerne Avenue.
