About PNA’s Día de los Muertos Celebration
This Mexican holiday honors the deceased with a cultural extravaganza filled with food, crafts, and festivities. This is a time to come together to celebrate the lives of our loved ones and rejoice in the memories shared with family and friends.
The centerpiece of our celebration is the traditional altar dedicated to offerings for the departed, built for us by poet Raul Sanchez. Witness the heartfelt gestures of gifts and prayers as we guide those who have left us on their journey.
Enjoy crafts, food, traditional dancers and a procession around the block to end the event.
We invite everyone to participate in this joyful event. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and grow as we honor the past and create lasting memories for the future. Come, join us at the Día de los Muertos!

New this year: PNA Seeks Committee Members for Cultural Events
The Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA) is forming volunteer committees to guide three of our signature cultural events–Día de los Muertos, Lunar New Year, and Holi. These celebrations have grown into treasured neighborhood traditions, and we’re seeking community members who can advise, steer planning, contribute creative ideas, and lend a hand on the day. If you are interested please join us on October 27 from 6:30-8:30 at the Phinney Center Blue Building as we decorate the building and prepare crafts for our upcoming celebration.
