The Latin American Student Organization at McHenry Community High School will hold the sixth annual Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos event from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, in the Warrior Room at Upper Campus, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Road, to celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed away.

This free celebration includes a movie, a photo booth, face painting, games and dancing. Tacos will also be available for sale.

Dia de los Muertos is a celebration in Mexico and other Latin American countries, traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2. An ofrenda, or altar, is made with elaborate decorations for departed loved ones. Many believe the spirits of the deceased come to visit with families.
