The Daily Bruin

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, in honor of Oregon’s 150th birthday, Los Muertos return singing familiar tunes that hearken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. For online info, visit milagro.org.

This is opening night and the audience is invited to stay afterward for a complimentary reception catered by a local restaurant.

For accommodations or questions, contact Shelley Yonemura, director of Multicultural Student Programs, at syonemur@georgefox.edu or stop by Student Life.
