HISTORIC MURPHYS DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

Murphys merchants and tasting rooms will be celebrating the Eighth Annual Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, on November 7th from 11-6 pm. Participating businesses will be offering authentic cultural art, food, sugar skulls, face painting and live music, as well as displaying altars celebrating the lives of those who have passed on but are with us in heart and spirit on the Day of the Dead.

Well once again include a Catrina and Catrin Dress Contest at 4:30 pm Saturday afternoon at Murphys Park followed by a Candle Light Procession to the St. Patrick's Cemetary.

Those wishing to participate in the procession should meet at the park at 5:30 pm. Make sure to bring your flashlight and warm clothing. We ask for respectful demeanor in the cemetery.
