Our Day of the Dead celebration comes alive with a day to night festival. 107 Projects has collaborated with Mexican Cultural Curators Karem Aldana and Diego Lugo to create a family friendly event that promises to be an authentic and vibrant glimpse into the rich cultural celebration of Dia de los Muertos.
