The popular event will shut down Market Street this weekend for food, music, cars, and fun.
What started as a few canopies in the parking lot behind The Menagerie has now become one of the biggest Dia De Los Muertos celebrations in California. Cosme Cordova of the Division 9 Gallery started the celebration as a tribute to the Mexican tradition of building ofrendas (altars) for deceased family members as a way of honoring their memory.
The âSugar Skullâ aesthetic grew in popularity and the celebrations began to extend beyond regional and cultural boundaries. The Riverside celebration has grown, this year, to a two day celebration. Saturday and Sunday, November 2 and 3, tens of thousands of visitors are expected to visit the festivities on Market between 14th and Mission Inn.
