What a fun celebration at the Art Museum! Our Ofrenda looked great! Thanks Gus Larson for sharing your photos with us! Día de los Muertos is becoming a popular celebration in our area. Carpinteria is having its second annual Day of the Dead celebration and Summerland is having its first Day of the Dead celebration too! So if you are looking for something fun to do on Sunday, head to Santa Barbara, Summerland or Carpinteria to see altars, hear Mexican music and participate in the many activities planned for that day.
You can also host your own Day of the Dead! You can get calaveritas de azúcar (sugar skulls) at Reynaldo's bakery on Linden Ave. in Carpinteria. You can pre-order them without frosting and decorate them at home. Go to this link to print a fun skull mask you can decorate at home: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4u5NXUZkBrDY3RGZ1VJOXMyRk0/edit
A great movie to watch is "The Book of Life" which takes place during Day of the Dead. Here's a link to the trailer if you'd like to pre-view is. It is rated PG:

¡Diviértanse! Have fun! Happy Halloween!
