Toronto’s Día de los Muertos Collective, in partnership with Casa Maíz Cultural Centre, this year returns to staging its popular annual celebration of Day of the Dead as an in-person event. Planned for the first time in collaboration with the University of Toronto, festivities will unfold on five different sites between October 13 and November 6, 2022: at Hart House, at the Peter MacKendrick Community Gallery, at Artscape Wychwood Barns, at First Nations House, and at Casa Maíz Cultural Centre.
Under the banner of solidarity with Indigenous peoples’ movements worldwide, the celebration aims to educate, honour, mobilize, and delight with its signature mixture of music, dance, and theatre performances, Indigenous ceremony, an art exhibition, public altars, workshops, and a food and crafts market. Torontonians will rejoice at the opportunity to once again come together in person for the celebration’s vibrant and inspiring main gathering at the Wychwood Barns on October 29.
