Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico and Central America on November 2nd. This year, the stars and the calendar aligned for us and we will be celebrating on that same day, the actual Day of the Dead. This is our 12th year of celebrating at Fleisher Art Memorial with our dear, growing community and we continue to explore the many different elements of this beautiful tradition in our very own special Philly way.
