This annual celebration has moved to a virtual setting for 2020. Be sure to follow the City of Burien's Facebook event page for all the details.

Not to be confused with Halloween, Día de Los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican holiday that combines the Catholic religion and indigenous cultures. It is a holiday that honors and respects our deceased ancestors by setting up an altar with their picture and decorating it with marigold, decorations and offering food (think of the Disney movie "Coco"). The Burien Community Center is happily hosting this amazing event with cultural dances, traditional art and different activities for the family. This is a cultural event you don't want to miss!
