Beyond the Halloween revelry, Día de los Muertos holds special meaning in San Diego – a city shaped by deep cultural ties to Baja California and Mexico. Here is a sampling of countywide events to commemorate the Day of the Dead:
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park caps its month-long Día de los Muertos/Fiesta de Reyes through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with sugar skull workshops, a candlelit procession and Catrina contests among thousands of marigolds and traditional altars. Downtown Chula Vista’s fifth annual Día de los Muertos Celebration runs Saturday from 3-8 p.m. on Third Avenue. The free event includes lowrider car clubs with trunk ofrendas, live music, food from Mercado by Las Jefas Market and community altars where you can bring photos or mementos to honor loved ones. The San Diego Master Chorale’s 65th season opens with Echoes, a concert series of music inspired by All Saints Day and Día de los Muertos 4 p.m. Saturday at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Bankers Hill and 4 p.m. Sunday at San Dieguito United Methodist Church in Encinitas, featuring works by Bach, Dan Forrest and David Conte.If costumes and altars aren’t your scene, don’t worry – there’s plenty more going on:
San Diego Opera presents Ruggero Leoncavallo’s tragic Pagliacci at the Civic Theatre, telling the story of a traveling performer whose suspicions of his wife’s infidelity blur with the clown he portrays onstage. The opera will be sung in Italian with English and Spanish translations. Tickets start at $47 for children and $77 for adults, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Cyclists can pedal along Highway 101 Saturday during Bike the Coast, starting at Oceanside Pier with routes ranging from 7-mile family rides on the San Luis Rey River Trail to a 100-mile journey through North County beach towns. Registration costs $71-$140 and includes a medal, socks and entry to the Finish Festival from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with live music and a beer garden.
