Part commemoration and part celebration, Day of the Dead is a blend of indigenous beliefs and Catholic rituals from the coinciding All Souls' Day. This year, Columbia’s Latino Alliance is putting its own spin on this celebration – and you can expect it to be a little less traditional and a little more Columbia.
For more information on what is going on with Columbia's Day of the Dead on Wednesday, October 28th, take a look at the Student Loop website.
