For the sixth year running, Santa Monica celebrated Día de los Muertos at the city-operated Woodlawn Cemetery Saturday.
From noon to 3 p.m., the loop that runs through the cemetery was closed to vehicle traffic and was lined with booths where families could decorate calaveras or get their faces painted or put up a remembrance on the “Memory Wall.”
Visitors could also pick up marigolds, the traditional flower of the dead, to place on graves or the “Memory Wall.”
Saturday’s celebration also included live performances by mariachi Los Dorados de Villa, Trio Bolero, Grandeza Mexicana, Las Colibrí, Trio Mexicano, and Martin Espino. The event also featured an altar by artist Aldo Cruz.
