Every fall, Walla Walla's streets come alive in color, music, and memory for Día de los Muertos.

This celebration honors loved ones who have passed while bringing our community closer together.

Started by the owner of Grandma's Kitchen, Manuel Perez, to honor of his mother, this tradition has grown from a small ofrenda in his restaurant's basement to a vibrant parade and community fiesta in downtown Walla Walla.

Each ofrenda (altar) tells a story of family, love, and the belief that life continues in spirit. From marigolds and candles to mariachi, food, and art, this event welcomes everyone to celebrate culture, connection, and remembrance

Join the celebration Saturday, November 1st downtown.

Parade starts at 3pm followed by live music, food trucks, and more at Heritage Square.
