The 2012 Dia de Los Muertos festival at Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the largest celebration of it’s kind in California. This year’s event will reach back to the pre-Aztec roots of Dia De Los Muertos and explore the Mayan Gods, rituals and calendar.
This joyful celebration of our ancestors had Musical performances by Ozomatli, La Santa Cecilia, Very Be Careful, Las Cafeteras, and Tribu. Over 100 Altars created by members of the community to their ancestors and loved ones. It also included Hundreds of Aztec Ritual Dancers in full costume and an Art Exhibition in the Cathedral Mausoleum. The environment was full of flash backs with death and alive people with many Arts and Crafts vendors. Therefore, there was Traditional Mexican cuisine by The Taste of Mexico, a group of LA’s top native Mexican restaurateurs who adhere to traditional Mexican ingredients and recipes to promote the authentic flavor of Mexico (any try was delicious) with tacos, tortas, enchiladas and Mexican drinks which everyone looks happy and satisfied with this incredible event.
