Each year the Purdue University Latino Cultural Center gathers to call upon our ancestors who have passed, and to celebrate their life and death. In 2008, UNESCO recognized the importance of Día de los muertos by adding the holiday to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people. For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in life’s long continuum. The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit—and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth. The evening will also feature crafts, live performances, and traditional food enjoyed on Dia de los muertos. To register to host an altar: https://tinyurl.com/purduediademuertos This event is free and open to Purdue University faculty, staff and students and to the Greater Lafayette Community. The Student Fee Activity Board grant (SFAB) is a co-sponsor.

Every Monday, Online.

Faith East Community Center is excited for the 9th annual, completely free Trunk or Treat event on Saturday, October 25th from 4pm-6pm! All of the fun of trick or treating in one safe, family-friendly environment!

**RETURNING THIS YEAR** We’re excited to offer a sensory-friendly space just for those who might enjoy a quieter, slower-paced experience. This room will have all the fun of trunk or treat, but in a calm and comfortable setting. We want everyone to have a fantastic time this year, and we can’t wait to celebrate together!

We will again have all of the activities inside the Community Center so the weather will not be a factor! Plan to spend a good amount of time with us both at the "trunks" (tables inside the main gym) as well as enjoying a variety of carnival games and inflatables! 

We will have two equal lines, each with approximately 25 decorated tables. When you get done with your last table, plan to explore the other spaces inside the Community Center for a whole lot more: Carnival Games, Bounce Houses, Pumpkin Decorating, and of course free hot chocolate and apple cider! 

Thank you for being mindful of others by avoiding scary and inappropriate costumes – this should be safe and fun for all ages! 

If you would like to volunteer or “adopt a trunk” by donating candy, please visit our website at https://faithlafayette.formstack.com/forms/trunk_or_treat_volunteers
