Participants will have the opportunity to learn traditional techniques and methods used in Día de los Muertos art, including papier-mâché, sugar skulls, and other decorative elements.
The Concept of an Ofrenda
An ofrenda is a traditional Mexican altar that is set up in the home to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. It is a way to welcome the spirits of the deceased back into the home and to provide a space for them to rest and be remembered. The ofrenda is typically decorated with photographs, flowers, candles, and other personal items that belonged to the deceased.

Ybarra’s ofrenda is a unique and personal tribute to his mother.
The event is free and open to the public, and will take place at the San Diego County Fairgrounds.
