Dia de los Muertos

In contrast to its name, Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is actually a celebration of life. It is a time to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer physically here on Earth, and like most other festivities, Dia de los Muertos is filled with music and dancing. At THIS IS RED, Pittsburgh City Paper and Creatives Drink celebrate the festival of life with Soulection's Sasha Marie. Photographer/WAMO host Chancelor Humphrey hosts the event, with drinks curated by Round Corner Cantina, a costume contest, food trucks, and more. A portion of the night’s proceed will go to Casa San Jose, a Pittsburgh-based Latino recourse center which “supports and advocates for Latino communities on issues related to local integration and self-sufficiency.”
