The community is invited to attend the annual Día de los Muertos “Poesía del Recuerdo /Poetry of Remembrance” celebration. Featured speakers include Lalin the Poet (Luis Vasquez), Gina Tello Bugarin, Irma Vega Bijou, Maria Mandolini, and Jabez Churchill. Our host for the evening will be Sonoma County Poet Laureate Dave Seter.

Guests are invited to participate in the celebration by sharing, in Spanish or English or any other language, a brief poem or remembrance of a departed loved one. Those who wish to honor the memory of someone are encouraged to bring something—a photo or an item that reminds them of their loved one—that can be placed on a community altar.
