TODAY is Day of the Dead
Join us tonight at First Friday as we celebrate life and death at our Day of the Dead Celebration, where mourning is exchanged for jubilation. It will be a night packed with music, art, laughter, and dancing because after all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure!
See you there!
