“Cleveland’s Day of the Dead celebration will live on this weekend after a near-death experience.

Celebrated first by the indigenous people of Mexico, the Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a festive holiday in which the living honor and celebrate the lives of dead loved ones.

“The Day of the Dead is for everybody . . . to honor their ancestors,” said local artist Salvador Gonzalez. “It’s a new concept for the community here.”"*
