A century-plus-old cemetery in the West Valley is the ideal family spot for one of the best celebrations of the season this month.
The annual Día de los Muertos Festival, sponsored by Ballet Folklorico Esperanza, returns to its home inside Goodyear Farms Historical Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 25. Free to all ages, the “Day of the Dead,” as it’s translated, brings dancers, musicians, vendors, food trucks, and of course at the heart of the festival, a community altar where residents are encouraged to bring photos or keepsakes of relatives who have passed on.
