Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead Celebration
at Beaches Sandbox
November 2 & 3
Join us for a weekend of free workshops and events at Beaches Sandbox in celebration of the Day of the Dead, presented in partnership with Pancho's Bakery.
Day of the Dead, as celebrated in Mexico, is a joyful time where family and friends come together to remember and celebrate their loved ones who have died. On November 2 & 3, local Mexican business owners, artists and performers have been brought together by Silvia Sanchez, curator for Day of the Dead at Beaches Sandbox, to celebrate and share this tradition with the Beaches community.
Through culinary workshops, Mexican Heritage talks, demonstrations, yoga and dance classes, and more, Beaches Sandbox is a a place where everyone is welcome to participate, learn and enjoy the rich traditions around celebration.
Silvia Sanchez, Curator
Originally from Mexico, Silvia grew up in a family rooted in Mexican traditions, enjoying big family gatherings and their different festivities, from traditional Mexican cooking, to culture, to art and crafts.
Having her two children born and raised in different countries outside of Mexico, Silvia has always looked to keep her culture alive and to pass on the Mexican traditions to her children by making them part of their upbringing.
Silvia is proud and enthusiastic of promoting and sharing her Mexican heritage with the Beaches community where she lives and calls home. She is excited and looking forward to bring a bit of it to the Beaches Sandbox Day of the Dead festival.
