Noche de Ofrenda proudly returns tonight Wednesday, November 2 from 6:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m. at SHG! NDO honors the ancestors in a contemplative evening with live poetry and music, surrounded by numerous altars produced by artists and community partners. Attend the evening with family and friends, and enjoy the offerings of the season with Mexican hot chocolate and pan de muerto.

Noche de Ofrenda uplifts the spirit of our beloved and honors ancestors through the art and intention of the ofrendas with our central Community Altar created by SHG Legacy Artists and Master Altaristas, Ofelia Esparza, Rosanna Esparza Ahrens and the Esparza family!

We encourage you to bring a 4x6 photo of your loved one for our community altar that you can place in a frame and embellish on site (while supplies last). *Please remember to bring copy of a photo of your beloved, not the actual images.

Dress up in your favorite Día de los Muertos fashion and take part in a community walking procession led by local Aztec dancers at 4:00 p.m. (meet up at 3:30 p.m.), from Mariachi Plaza to Self Help Graphics.

Tip: The Metro L line Pico/Aliso station is located directly across the street from SHG. Take it to Mariachi Plaza first, to join the procession. To locate your nearest station and view the train schedule, visit the L Line Riding Guide here.
