Cultural Exploration Friends Circle -- Día de los Muertos, Redwood City
Details
Día de los Muertos -- Day of the Dead is a special Mexican fiesta, supposed to unite the living and the dead. There was a popular movie -- "Coco" (2017) is about it. The Redwood Día de los Muertos celebration is the largest around San Mateo county. We are going to explore this unique cultural phenomenon together, with our signature ice breaking squad friends circle.

We will mingle with their volunteers, work together, establish partnership and invite them to join us at [https://TownFlame.org](https://townflame.org/) - There are 3 shifts of the celebration volunteering. Pick one you found convenient. https://casacirculocultural.org/adult-initiative/dia-de-los-muertos/#volunteer
- Visitor track:
Do the ice breaking squad round Friends Circle, self select into squads, tour the ground, then regroup and remix, then free roaming, establish connections through the process.
