“In our culture, we don’t forget our loved ones. We remember them with so much love,” shares Maria Sanchez, a proud Oakland resident originally from Jalisco, México. Born and raised in Jalisco, Maria has brought her deep-rooted cultural pride to Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, where she now calls home.
Maria’s connection to tradition and community is at the heart of a special celebration happening this weekend. A limited-edition celebration kit will be available exclusively at Conoce Tus Raíces Night on Sunday, September 29th, providing an opportunity to embrace and honor the rich heritage of Día de los Muertos.
This unique offering is a reflection of the vibrant traditions that define both Fruitvale and the broader Latin American community. Join us for this special event and take home a piece of this cherished celebration, curated with love and cultural pride.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with tradition and celebrate the spirit of remembering our loved ones. See you this Sunday!
