Miami based nonprofit Community Arts and Culture (CAC) presents a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration in partnership with the Inheritants Project at the Florida Keys Brewing Co. in Islamorada.
The free, family-friendly event will feature live music by Mariachi Veracruz Miami and a sugar skull-making workshop on Sunday, Nov. 2 beginning at 3 p.m. The event is open to the public, and a $10 suggested donation is encouraged for the facepainting and workshop.
The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1-2. The gathering among friends and family pays respects to loved ones who died, welcoming back their souls for a brief reunion over food, drink and celebration.
Located at 81611 Old Highway, FKBC anchors the Morada Way Arts and Cultural District, which also features art galleries, pop up shops and a wide variety of food and beverages. Mariachis play the traditional music of Mexico, always in full dress and with much gusto. Mariachi Veracruz Miami bring joy and passion to every performance, feature traditional music and arrangements, and are highly in-demand in the South Florida music circuit.
FKBC is the Upper Keys’ first microbrewery and is in the Morada Way Arts and Cultural District. The brewery has a vast selection of beers, as well as a rotating list of seasonal and barrel aged brews, on draft.
