Brattleboro Area Hospice is excited to host its 13th annual Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) Celebration and Community Alter on November 6th, from 5:00-7:00PM at Experienced Goods Thrift Shop, 77 Flat St. in downtown Brattleboro VT.
The event is inspired by the Latin American holiday, Dia de los Muertos, a time when families gather to honor loved ones who have died. In keeping with this tradition, staff and volunteers from Brattleboro Area Hospice create an Ofrenda, or large community altar that will be available at Experienced Goods Thrift Shop. The public is invited and encouraged to bring a meaningful item to lay on the Ofrenda to honor their loved one. (Please use photocopied pictures and objects of no great value as items cannot be returned.) Colorful papers and pens will be available to write memorial notes to leave on the altar. Activities for children will take place at the event. This celebration can be particularly meaningful for children; a way for them to express their connection with and memories of a loved one who has died.
