Day of the Dead Columbus

ofrenda/altar offering
October 7, 2023
10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Bus from 11th ave, east of High at the side of Barnes & Noble to Green Lawn Cemetery

Ohio State is once again partnering with the non-profit Latino Arts for Humanity to celebrate Day of the Dead Columbus. This festival is an educational, cultural and family event to remember and celebrate our loved ones who are no longer with us. It is also a great opportunity to engage with and support the local Latinx community

There will be art exhibits, living altar performances, ofrendas, arts and crafts vendors, activities for kids (including free face painting!), calavera poetry workshops, Aztec dance, opportunities to learn about Day of the Dead and much more! 

The event is free and open to the public. Free transportation will be available throughout the day from campus to Greenlawn Cemetery. Due to game day traffic, the bus (run by Cardinal transportation) will pick students up on 11th ave, east of High at the side of Barnes & Noble. The first bus leaves the Union at 9:30am, with the last bus leaving Greenlawn at 6pm. 

Hope to see you there!
