This Día de Muertos ofrenda celebrates the lives of HSLB staff members’ families and the Latin American communities of Long Beach throughout its history who have since passed away but are still remembered and honored today. Though this tradition takes place in the first two days of November, we will continue to display our ofrenda until November 13, 2021 to allow everyone an opportunity to see it in person and learn more about this important celebration within our Long Beach community and throughout the Americas.![]()

This offering includes several family items belonging to the HSLB staff from the Mexican states of Coahuila, Michoácan, Oaxaca, and México. These items also represent the ancestral homelands of some of the historical figures featured upon the ofrenda. It also holds several HSLB artifacts and photos representing the lives of those honored. To learn more and admire the detail that went into honoring every person, we encourage you to visit us.![]()
