The festivities will provide the chance to explore the educational and cultural significance of Day of the Dead traditions. Enjoy live Mariachi music, Folkloric Dance, sugar skull decorating, face painting, and arts and crafts.

Tickets are $5 per person for age 3 and older and require a signed waiver. To purchase tickets, call 949-470-3062 or visit cityofmissionviejo.org/register. Food, beverage, beer and wine will also be available to purchase at the event.
