Event Details
From October 8 through November 2, stop by Playa Market during open altar hours and add a photo, flower, written message, or small offering honoring a family member, friend, beloved pet, community hero, or someone whose memory you want to celebrate.
Our ofrenda will grow throughout the month as our community adds their own stories and memories — creating a shared space to honor those who came before us and celebrate the traditions, culture and history that connect us.
Come contribute to the altar, spend some time remembering, explore the market, and be part of something we’re creating together.

Bring an ofrenda. Share a memory. Be part of our community altar.
The altar will be open to the public at Playa Market, and everyone is welcome to participate. You do not need to bring an offering to visit, reflect, or experience the ofrenda.
At the end of October, we will gather for an Indigenous ceremony honoring those represented on the altar, creating a shared moment of remembrance, gratitude, and community. More details coming soon.

FAQ
What happens to my ofrenda item(s) after you remove the altar?
You can pick up your items from Nov 6th – 15th during regular business hours.
What if I don't have anything to bring?
Ofrendas are not required, you can still come by and see our beautiful altar and all the wonderful community ofrendas. We will also have paper for you to write a message to those you’d like to remember/honor.
What items are not permitted?
No real food or drinks
No items larger than 8 inches.
No weapons of any kind
No items with real fire
No violent, pornographic or inappropriate content
We reserve the right to remove any item we do not deem appropriate for our altar.
What type of items can I bring?
Your ofrenda can be anything that reminds you of the loved one you want to honor. It can be a picture, a small art piece, small toy, fake fruit/food, or a simple note. We please ask you to keep your ofrendas no larger than 6 inches in size; we want to make sure there’s plenty of room for everyone.
Are my items secure?
We believe our community is respectful and trust that they will not take anything that isn’t theirs. We will definitely be present during business hours, and try our best to keep an eye out, but unfortunately we cannot be responsible for lost/damaged items. We highly recommend to not bring any irreplaceable items, expensive items, and such. We recommend brining a copy of a photo, a similar item to the original, or a written note.
