Luminarias Dia De Muertos

October 21st, 2023

An event hosted and organized by Vancouver Ballet Folklórico along with local supporting organizations. This event honors the ancestral tradition of Dia de Muertos that has been an indigenous celebration before colonization.

We Are Grateful to All Who Help Make it Possible!

Started in 2021, Luminarias Dia de Muertos honors those who have passed on through dance, music, and a celebration of life at Esther Short Park. Last year, guests were invited to light luminarias, little lanterns, on a drawn out "Tree of Life" on the ground. Guests were also invited to participate in the celebration of life by placing photos of their loved ones on an altar. And this 2022 year, we will be celebrating it again!

Although not as big as the Luminaria event, Vancouver Ballet Folklórico has actually celebrated Dia De Muertos many times in the past such as in local Vancouver places like, North Bank Artist Gallery, Hidden Brewery, The Loft Artist Gallery, Kafiex, and a few events at the Vancouver Community Library.

Thank You For Celebrating Día de Muertos Every Year with Us!

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, dancers, parents, and amazing board members who made it possible!
