In the midst of Atlanta’s innumerable spooky season spectacles, a joyful, colorful celebration of life is taking place!

The Mexican and Latin American holiday of “Dia De Los Muertos” or “Day of the Dead” honors those passed on with traditional, beautiful costumes, games, ofrendas (or decorated altars), and delicious food.

This year, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is joining in with their most expansive “Dia De Los Muertos” celebration to date, featuring live music and activities at the Woodruff Arts Center, all taking place on Oct. 29.
