Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center (WVMCC) and the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce Hispanic Business Council are celebrating Hispanic Heritage with their "Day of the Dead" celebration.

A Celebration of Life and Heritage

Day of the Dead, or "Dia de los Muertos," is a tradition first practiced thousands of years ago by indigenous peoples such as the Aztecs and the Toltecs. The tradition celebrates death as another chapter of life. During "Dia de los Muertos," they believed the dead had a brief window to leave the spirit realm and visit loved ones in the mortal world.
