Over the weekend, Broomfield residents had the opportunity to learn the significance of Dia de los Muertos while hearing stories and making crafts at the bilingual event. Set up with a candlelit altar, the holiday is celebrated as a joyful time that helps people remember the deceased and celebrate their memory. The Community Ofrenda was created and decorated with photos and items to carry on tradition and pay respects.
