Los Angeles County Civic Center park is located at 4801 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90022, across from the Metro L Line East LA Civic Center Station, at 3rd Street and Mednik Avenue.

On November 4, the public is encouraged to dress up in their favorite Día de los Muertos fashion and take part in our festive Día de los Muertos Celebration Procession from Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights, to Civic Center Park in East Los Angeles.

The procession will be different this year in that the public is encouraged to meet at Mariachi Plaza at 2:00 PM where we will begin with a traditional Danza blessing, then take the Metro L Line train to East LA Civic Center Park, beginning at 2:30 PM. Note: Participants must purchase their individual train ticket to travel on the Metro.

Self Help Graphics is offering free Día de los Muertos Community Art Workshops on Saturdays in October from 12:00 PM-3:00 PM at the East Los Angeles County Library, where participants will learn about and create traditional crafts to honor the ancestors.
