November 2nd marks the Mexican Dia del los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, traditional holiday in which family members honor their deceased ancestors and celebrate life. So once you're done voting (make sure you vote! it's your constitutional right!), head on over to one of the many many festivals happening all over Los Angeles.
I'm particularly attracted to this one happening at the 24th Street Theater, which looks like it;s going to be a blast. They'll have live music performed by La Santa Cecilia (an orchestra which plays regularly at Oxy), Fandango Sin Fronteras, and Maximo el Tenor. There will also be a great deal of live dance and delicious food. You'll be able to make your own altar to put in their graveyard so you can honor your loved ones as well.
Where: 117 W. 24th St(on the corner of 24th and Hover near USC)
When: Tues, Nov. 2, 6-10pm
$$$: FREE!!!
