The Sacramento Latino Center of Art and Culture will honor Día
de los Muertos with its 7th annual el panteón (the name
refers to a cemetery in the Spanish language). The two-day event will host
local artists selling handmade Mexican art, including silver jewelry, beaded
necklaces and hand-painted glassware, along with paintings and sculptures of
traditional sugar skulls. Individuals and families can reserve one of 40 altars
to set up photos, candles, paintings and food in honor of their loved ones. The
Center will also display a community altar to recognize Juan Gabriel, a popular
Mexican singer-songwriter who died in August. Free. Sat. 11 a.m.-1 a.m;
Sun. 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
