Dia De Los Muertos Charity Event

Donation protected
Dia de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Mexico. A holiday where family and friends come together in fellowship to remember and celebrate the lives of their passed loved ones. In part, our mission is to share the true meaning and traditions of the holiday with all cultures since, no matter our differences or ethnic backgrounds, each and every one of us have loved ones to remember and honor.


The event's programming for guests include a number of activities such as face-painting, live art, sugar skull painting, live mannequins, candle vigils, the sounds of Mariachi bands and other local vocal artists, various live performances, Mexican DJs, authentic Mexican cuisine, a photo booth, traditional customary activities, and a Mariachi competition, and more. 

Additionally, we encourage our guests to bring pictures, belongings, and the favorite foods of their loved ones to lay on one of the vibrantly- decorated altars and Ofrendas that will be constructed on location. 


How can you help us? 

Every year, our network of local artists continue to dedicate their time and talent to make this event a possibility.  Their gratitude provides DDLM-DC the ability to donate 100% of the proceeds to our various causes, each year.

- All monies raised are for two charities - The Young Center in Washington DC and Rostros Sabios in Mexico City
- Spread the message! We would love to see the news about DDLM-DC all over social media! We are truly excited to bring a multicultural event to the DMV. 
- Lastly, we have put together this event in hopes of raising awareness, as well as gathering the needed funds to assist in the reunification of these separated families. This event is not a political event, but simply a call to assist those who cannot help themselves – the children.
