DIA DE MUERTOS

Jump is excited to once again host Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead on Wednesday, November 2nd from 5:00pm-8:00pm. Día de Muertos honors the lives of friends and family who have died, with food, drink, parties, and activities the deceased enjoyed in life.

Join us for the celebration with perfromances in the 6th floor Pioneer Room featuring entertainers of all ages in colorful outfits and painted faces. Come dressed up to participate in the Catrin and Catrina contest on the JUMP stage, with prizes for the best outfits. Stop by the 5th floor JUMP Room to enjoy Pan de Muerto, Mexican cocoa, and face painting. And don’t miss the centerpiece of Día de Muertos, the Altar, which welcomes spirits with offerings that include photographs, food, marigold flowers, and candles. Altars created by local families, students and organizations will be on display throughout the 1st Floor Lobby.

This holiday is celebrated with a burst of color and life-affirming joy as those who have passed are kept alive in memory and spirit. This ancient tradition is based on the unity of life and death, and the belief that the dead would be insulted by sadness. So please attend!
