Honoring lost loved ones at WSU Tri-Cities

The Associated Students of Washington State University Tri-Cities and Dreamer’s Club celebrate Día de los Muertos inside the WSU Tri-Cities Art Center in Richland on Friday.

The Mexican holiday is celebrated Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 to honor loved ones who have died.

As part of the remembrance, families clean graves and create alters with candles, photos of their loved ones and favorite foods.

WSU Tri-City students created alters decorated with photos of deceased family members, pets, famous Mexican actors, singers and artists.

Chiawana’s Mariachi Halcón del Río band also performed.
