 Live music, Oaxacan wood carving, and festive decorations help to make this a joyful event designed to remember and welcome back the spirits of loved ones. Decorate a sugar skull (additional $6 fee); make *papel picado* (cut paper banners), *cempasúchil* flowers and other artwork; and write a message in any language you choose to place upon the *Día de los Muertos* altar. The community altar art will be created by students at the Rafael Hernández Dual Language School in Boston.
