The altar presentation and ceremony at Oakwood Cemetery on Day of the Dead features Mariana Nuño Ruiz McEnroe, author of Dining with the Dead, who will give a talk on the rich culinary traditions in Mexico that are associated with Dia de Muertos.
Javier Jara will play the guitar and all are invited to pay respect to the individuals buried in Oakwood Cemetery to view the collective ofrenda (altar) by artist Alonso Estrada, made specifically for this site in loving memory of those who have passed.
Guesta may bring non-perishable objects (notes, flowers, copies of photographs) to add to the ofrenda. A digital exhibit on Day of the Dead will also include articles, photos and videos that give local history and cultural context to this celebration.
Anyone who has family ties to Oakwood Cemetery and would like to decorate a monument is encouraged to contact Jennifer Chenowith. Jennifer.Chenowith@austintexas.gov.
