Dia de los Muertos at Forest Lawn

November 1 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Forest Lawn will celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with free, family-friendly in-person events at four of its locations: Covina Hills, Cypress, Glendale, and Cathedral City, bringing the vibrant traditions of the Mexican holiday to Southern California.

For each of the four events, marigolds, handcrafted Catrina and alebrijes (spirit guide) artworks and brightly colored community ofrendas (altars) will transform the Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks into radiant and majestic spaces for remembrance. Folklorico dance and mariachi music performances, arts & crafts, face painting, food trucks and carts, and refreshments will set a lively backdrop for the community to savor the holiday, light candles, place photographs and mementos on altars, and retell stories that keep the memories of generations of loved ones alive. Bob Baker Marionette performances will take place at the Covina Hills, Cypress and Glendale locations.

Forest Lawn’s Covina Hills, Cypress, and Glendale locations on Nov. 1, 12 – 3 p.m. and at Forest Lawn-Cathedral City Nov. 2, from 5 – 8 p.m.
