Día de los Muertos is officially Nov. 1-2, but we're going to have the ofrenda a little longer: the afternoon of Oct. 31 through Nov. 5.
This is a public memorial to lost loved ones. Send in photos and/or stories you want to share -- we'll take care of printing out copies to display! You're welcome to leave items directly, too, but since this is a public display, don't leave anything you couldn't bear to lose.
A mini-ofrenda will also be on display in Leo's Landing during Death Con!
