Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead

Join us for our annual "Celebration of Life and Family" on Sunday, October 24 from 12 pm to 5 pm. Performers include Mariachi San Juan Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano Ballet Folklorico, and Aztec dance group Huehueteotl. Activities include children's crafts, face painting and artwork and altars throughout the library. Don't miss film maker and artist George Newman's incredible Casa de las Calaveras - House of Skeletons, where life-sized muertos figures tell the story of a couple who return to earth each Dia de los Muertos. This event is free of charge and is sponsored by a grant from Target and the Friends of the San Juan Capistrano Regional Library.
