Hosted By: Somos Lawrence and Lawrence Percolator
Somos Lawrence and Lawrence Percolator are hosting a Day of the Dead event from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at Sunrise Project, 1501 Leonard St. This year’s altar will honor the lives of grandparents and the elders who have departed. Community members are invited to bring mementos of loved ones to add to the altar or set up their individual altars. There will be tamales, sweet bread and hot chocolate.
Somos Lawrence is a community organization that seeks to advocate for effective and culturally informed grassroots outreach to under-represented, Spanish-speaking residents of Douglas County. Other collaborative partners in the event include the Ballard Center, Common Ground, Senior Resource Center for Douglas County, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. The event is supported by a grant from the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council.
