Dia De Los Muertos: PV Holds Mini Alter Making Workshop On Zoom

PALOS VERDES, CA — Dia de los Muertos is an ancient Mexican tradition to honor and remember loved ones who have passed. The City of Ranchos Palos Verdes will hold a virtual mini altar workshop Sunday to help locals celebrate from the comfort and safety of their homes.

The workshop will be held on Zoom for $10 and will include a presentation about the tradition and history of Dia de los Muertos.

Participants are encouraged to reuse a shoebox from home, find a 2 x 3 inch copy of a photo of a loved one that has passed. The class provides materials in a supply kit for the rest.

Kits can be picked up at Hesse Park 29301 Hawthorne Blvd., any day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. or from Ranchos Palos Verdes City Hall, Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

The instructor for this virtual interactive art project is Rebecca Horta. There were 20 openings remaining as of Wednesday.
