Downtown Providence was filled with light, color, and remembrance as we celebrated Día de los Muertos, one of Mexico’s most beautiful traditions.
Surrounded by marigolds, candles, music, and dancing, we honored life, love, and memory together. The scent of pan de muerto and the warmth of hot chocolate carried the spirit of Mexico through our city. @la.artesa.bakery
It was an honor for us to organize and host this moving celebration and to share this evening of magic and community with all who visited downtown at @waterfireprov
This is Providence — a city that celebrates every culture and every story. Here, everyone belongs. 🌼
