SUMMARY:21st Annual Day of the Dead Festival
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\nJoin Go Mt Charleston\, Get Outdoors Nevada\,
  and the Southern Nevada Agency Partnership for the 21st annual Life in De
 ath Festival-Day of the Dead Celebration.\nThe Life in Death Festival will
  be held on November 1st and 2nd\, 2022 at Winchester Dondero Cultural Cen
 ter and will feature performances on stage each day with Mexican dance tro
 upes and readings of “calaveras\,” or “skulls\,” which are poems\,
  usually humorous\, written “in memory” of people who are still alive.
  They treat the menace of death with good-natured humor and offer a chance
  to poke fun at prominent people. People may also participate in the Day o
 f the Dead art exhibit. Artists are advised to learn Day of the Dead tradi
 tions which honor the dead\, but also confront death itself\, often with a
  humorous attitude. Meanwhile\, dance\, music\, and humorous poetry remind
  us that death helps define life\, and should not be feared.\n\nIn the Mex
 ican tradition\, families and other groups build beautiful ofrendas (altar
 s)\, glowing with candlelight\, that are covered with the food\, drink\, a
 nd other objects loved by the deceased while alive in order to lure them b
 ack for a visit. The ofrendas are elaborate works of art—beautiful\, det
 ailed\, and sometimes huge.\n\nAbout This Location\nThe Winchester Dondero
  Cultural Center is located at 3130 McLeod Dr\, Las Vegas\, NV 89121\nPark
 ing is limited for this event and carpooling is highly encouraged.\nShuttl
 es will be available at Valley High School and Ko Kundson Middle School.\n
