Micailhuitl: Días de los Muertos

November 1, 2026
Topa Institute
This year, Topa Institute is honoring Días de los Muertos as a season rather than a single day. Visit the community altar on Sundays to honor and remember our loved ones who no longer walk this Earth. The season culminates on November 1 with a despedida celebration open to all, featuring a ceremonial fire blessing and Danza Azteca performance, sending our beloved dead onward with music, dance, song, and food.
