Day of the Dead Gardens!

Join Westside Friends for beautiful botanicals and colorful spirits with a day! First, we will kick off the fun at 3:00 pm to enjoy the Dia de los Muertos Festival filled with live music, traditional dancers, and stunning art honoring loved ones who have passed. At 5 pm, La Procesion takes place to honor loved ones who have passed. The altar will be illuminated and on display until 10 pm for those who would like to visit it. If you would like to join us for dinner, we have a reservation at the restaurant. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to dine at a nearby establishment if you prefer.
