Celebrate those that have passed on and learn about the culture, traditions, and history of the Day of the Dead. You can find events across town throughout the month of October and into the first week of November!

Día de los Muertos is a 2-day holiday that began in Mexico and is traditionally celebrated across Latin America and beyond. During these two days, it is believed that the passage between the real world and the spirit world opens, allowing deceased loved ones to come back and visit their living relatives. Traditions and customs vary in different places, but the base beliefs remain the same.
This holiday offers a unique and colorful perspective on death that turns a sad fact of life into something beautiful. In partnership with a committee of community members, the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, Laramie County Public Library, Wyoming State Museum and Cheyenne Depot Museum are hosting community celebrations to share the significance of this holiday and provide welcoming spaces for people to celebrate their culture. Everyone is welcome to enjoy these community celebrations and open their eyes to cultures and traditions that they might have never known about.


The Celebration will include a beautiful flower and alter display, food, dancing, classes, and family fun.

Schedule:

Take a self guided tour and add a butterfly in memory of a loved one to the memorial wall.
