On Saturday, October 12, hundreds of people showed up to Claremont Heritage’s Dia de los Muertos celebration, which featured ofrendas, or altars honoring the dead, musical and dance entertainment at Shelton Park and Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, book readings at the Claremont Helen Renwick Library, face painting and other children’s activities, and an art display outside Claremont City Hall. Here’s a look at scenes from the day.
