The best events, services, resources, & more for Arizona’s 55+ community.
Join us on Saturday, November 2, for the Park Place Street Art Festival, Dia De Los Muertos edition, a vibrant celebration of life, culture, and community. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the festival will transform the mall into a living canvas of art and tradition.
In partnership with the All Souls Procession, a community ofrenda dedication space will be the heart of this event, where visitors can honor loved ones and connect with the rich cultural heritage of Dia De Los Muertos. Ten talented live painters will create stunning works of art inspired by the iconic imagery of the holiday, bringing the spirit of this beloved tradition to life.
Experience the festival’s lively atmosphere with the sounds of live mariachi music filling the air, and immerse yourself in the colorful world of chalk art with our integrated community Kids Zone and breathtaking 3D Chalk Art Murals. Witness the creation of two permanent mural installations, as artists capture the essence of Dia De Los Muertos in real-time. This event is more than a festival—it’s a celebration of art, culture, and the deep connections that bind us all. Bring your family and friends, and be part of this unforgettable day of remembrance, creativity, and community.
Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance (SAACA) invites Tucson community members to be part of a special Día de los Muertos Ofrenda at this year’s Park Place Street Art Festival. This collective altar will honor and celebrate the memories of loved ones who have passed, creating a meaningful and personal tribute for the entire community.
We encourage individuals and families to participate in this beautiful tradition by submitting a photo of a loved one and an optional short story or message (up to 100 words) to accompany the image. Your contribution will be included in a vibrant and heartfelt community ofrenda, where the submitted photos will be printed and displayed on the altar for public viewing for two weeks, starting from November 2, 2024. Submit your photo and family story here.
