Almas, Raíces y Tradición: A Día de Muertos Celebration — Matinee

California Academy of the Arts (CALIACA) presents Ballet Folklórico Rey Colimán in Almas, Raíces y Tradición—a Día de Muertos celebration where dance becomes remembrance and community becomes altar.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, we gather to honor the ones who shaped us. Through vibrant skirts sweeping like memory, the steady pulse of zapateado, and music that carries our ancestors’ voices, we transform the stage into sacred ground.

Celebramos a nuestros amados.

Whether you grew up lighting candles beside marigold ofrendas or you’re experiencing these traditions for the first time, you belong here. This is folklórico as living heritage—performed with discipline, pride, and corazón by dancers who carry culture forward with every step.

Bring your family. Bring your neighbors. Bring your memories of those who came before. Let’s celebrate together—the beauty of remembrance, the warmth of community, and the joy of being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Tickets: Presale $25 | At the door $30
Venue: Curtis Theatre · 1 Civic Center Cir, Brea, CA 92821
