Instead of hoping you randomly meet the right person, you’ll take part in a series of structured **one-on-one networking rounds** designed to help you meet more people in one night.

Noche de los Muertos @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery-We have our own altar to point

We will have our own Altar for the group as a meetup point. AND you will be able to create art and help decorate it. (read below) This is the biggest, baddest Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival in Los Angeles, if not all of California. Whatever is written can't compare with a well made vid. **[Click here](https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907)** to watch what it's like [https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907](https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907) Come celebrate the Mexican holiday on which the souls of the departed are said to return and join in celebration with family members. It's a humorous way of dealing with the reality of death, which is after all a part of life. If all that sounds a little grim, I have been to this event in the past and found it to be one of the biggest, liveliest parties I have ever seen! There will be lots of dancing: Aztec dancing, folkloric dancing, and more. Families set up ofrendas (altars) to welcome back the dead; this year there will be over 100 of them and the best decorated win prizes. You can get your face painted (for a fee) like a calaca (skull), or come with your face already painted if you wish. Come in your best Dia de los Muertos costume; the best costume can win $1500! There are art exhibits and photo exhibits and stunning light exhibits. AND There will be five stages featuring primo entertainment until close to midnight. Along with food and beverage vendors and lounges in which to enjoy their wares. The main site is [https://www.ladayofthedead.com](https://www.ladayofthedead.com) Photos from past years [https://www.ladayofthedead.com/gallery/nggallery/gallery](https://www.ladayofthedead.com/gallery/nggallery/gallery) Event details such as specific acts and parking get updated to this posted in the month before. and parking. For the moment you can find 2023's info at [https://www.ladayofthedead.com/event-info/](https://www.ladayofthedead.com/event-info/) COST? For 2023 . . . it was : $35 for Day Of The Dead 9AM to 3PM And $60 for Night of the Dead from 5PM to midnight. Yeah . . . it's not cheap. On the other hand . . . it's really awesome and not like anything you have ever seen. **[Click here](https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907)** to watch what it's like [https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907](https://player.vimeo.com/video/816694907) This is a Meetup? YES . . . . we (the group owners) will get an alter spot. We will decorate it a bit. And we will set it up with chairs and a table with an art activity. Watercolors . . . watercolor paper . . . brushes . . . and you will get to make your own offering for the booth. We will post the location of our altar. This will be our Meetup point. You will get there. And you can head out with whoever is there. OR . .. sit down and start with some art and when other folks get there . .. head out with them. And remember, this takes place in a cemetery and mausoleum. Some of our members have family members buried or interred there, so a certain level of decorum is also appropriate, along with the fun and joy. For instance . . . I personally have relatives located here. Looking forward to seeing you there! RSVP here if you are interested AND if you are interested in being one of the hosts. OR if you are interested in being in charge of the design and creation of the alter and decorations . . . send me a message. Will add you and you can then be part of making this event happen.
