Come together with friends, family, and neighbors to honor the past, celebrate the present, and create memories for the future with live performances, captivating art installations, community vendors, and more! Sol Collective’s annual Souls of the City festival and cultural arts programming offers hands-on education about the deep-rooted history and traditions of Dia de los Muertos.

At the heart of the festival is a traditional ceremony and procession led by Sacramento’s Maquilli Tonatiuh Aztec Dancers. Their powerful song and dance promise to transport attendees into the ancient landscape of Dia de los Muertos honoring the spirits of loved ones passed. Attendees are also invited to take part in Dia de los Muertos traditions including sugar skulls, floral crowns, altar building, and more. Adding to the vibes will be musical performances by local musicians and bands.
