..."Dia de los Muertos” is celebrated over multiple days. The holiday is meant to focus on the gathering of family and friends as they celebrate their ancestors who have passed away. Organizers say the holiday is a big point of pride to the people in KCK.
“The number of Latinos in our community is greater than just anywhere else in the metro,” said Edgar Galicia, Executive Director of the Central Avenue Betterment Association. “When we have the opportunity to celebrate our roots, we take our time and we do it right.”
Galicia also told KCTV5 he hopes Saturday’s event will create community pride the area needs so that people will invest in the area and put down roots in KCK."
