On Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., Latin American Coalition, along with Levine Museum of the New South, is presenting the annual Día de Muertos celebration.
Like last year, the event will be at Camp North End, 300 Camp Road, Charlotte, NC.
Admission is free, and there’s lots of free parking at Camp North End. (1824 Statesville Avenue is also a good address to shoot for.)
This event will be a local, family-friendly recreation of the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition.
