Altar Display in Downtown San Rafael starting October 13th through November 4th
Now an annual part of the Dia De Los Muertos Community celebration, the car procession/cruise extends the celebration allowing people to view the decorated cars while looking at altars in downtown business windows. It also serves as a reminder of the traditional celebration two weeks later at the Albert J. Boro Community on November 4, 2023. Again this year, they are inviting participants to display their cars in the reserved parking lot of the Multicultural Center of Marin, located at 709 Fifth Avenue in downtown San Rafael.

The Día de Los Muertos celebration comes from the ancient wisdom of the indigenous people of Mezzo and South America that through the years have been open to many spiritual influences of this ever-developing world and changing universe we live in. The multicultural community of the Canal Neighborhood hosts the celebration and welcomes residents and visitors to share in a grateful acknowledgment of the continuing ebb and flow of existence in ways we do not understand.
