DON’T JUST ATTEND—BE PART OF THE CELEBRATION.

This year at our 6th Annual Día de los Mu***os, we invite you to help create something meaningful through our Community Mural.

A talented local artist will be bringing the mural to life, and guests will have the opportunity to leave their own mark by:

-Painting a portion of the mural
-Adding the name of a loved one who has passed
-Honoring their memory through art, culture, and community

Once completed, this special piece will continue to live on and be showcased at future Día de los Mu***os celebrations, carrying the names, memories, and stories of our community forward year after year.

Come celebrate the people we remember, the traditions we share, and the culture that brings our community together.

Today, on World Animal Day, we’re celebrating the wildlife that calls this special habitat home and the importance of protecting and preserving these natural spaces for generations to come.

Take a walk. Keep your eyes open. Enjoy the outdoors. You might be surprised by who you see!

📍 Yuma East Wetlands — where wildlife and the Colorado River come together.
