Community Spotlight: Dia de los Muertos with Main Street Gardnerville
This is the second year we have had the privilege of hosting the Dia de los Muertos event though a partnership with Douglas County Community Services and the Carson Valley Arts council. The event featured Aztec Dancers and 12-foot-tall Catrina Doll, which were presented by Arte de Culture of Reno. Our performers food, beverage, and vendors were all of local Hispanic heritage.
It was a leap of faith to bring this event downtown in our community not knowing how it would be received. We are beyond thrilled to have this event embraced and received not only by our Hispanic community but also our community at large. It was a very special day of food, music, families, and education.
