CELEBRATION AND FUNDRAISER ON NOVEMBER 7
Event to feature local artists, live music, dinner, tequila tastings and more
The Coachella Valley History Museum will host the 3rd Annual Dia De Los Muertos Celebration & Fundraiser on Saturday, November 7 from 5 to 9 p.m., featuring works by local artists, live music, a silent auction and authentic Day of the Dead altars. The public is invited to enjoy a beautiful night under the stars with great food, tequila tastings and live entertainment.
Sponsored by Forest Lawn, Hot Purple Energy, El Mexicali Café, 88 Tequila, Franz Tatum Wealth Management and Machin’, tickets are $75 per person or $650 for a VIP table for 10. Organizers suggest registering by Oct. 25, as this unique celebration is expected to sell out quickly.
“Day of the Dead is engrained in the local culture and this event stays true to those traditions, from the altars to the art to the cuisine to the music,” said Diana Soto, Indio Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Events. “In just three years this has become one of our most popular celebrations, and I see that trend continuing.”
Dia De Los Muertos is celebrated throughout Mexico and is acknowledged around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Coachella Valley History Museum, which opened in 1984 with a dual mission of educating the public and preserving the region’s history for generations to come. For more information or to register, visit www.cvhm.org or call (760) 342-6651.
