Community locals, musicians, photographers, and art enthusiasts were predominant among the crowd who were driven to Al Borde’s event, highly anticipating the featured live performance by Venezuelan DJ/Producer Mr. Pauer and Mexico City’s El Conjunto Nueva Ola (ECNO). Mr. Pauer and ECNO are music innovators who have been face-lifting traditional Latin rhythms by fusing them with the beats of electronica and rock & roll.

The event also presented its traditional Day of the Dead-themed altar and art contest, which encourages and supports local artists by providing a platform for them to showcase their work. “It was a great experience to see young and old, Latinos and non-Latinos come together to celebrate this wonderful tradition and our culture,” stated Jaime Lara, winner of the event’s altar contest who was awarded a $100 gift card. Supporting sponsor Wells Fargo also joined the effort by awarding Central Valley High School's art program with a monetary contribution.

Aside from celebrating with art and dance, entire families that attended the event were also stimulated with numerous interactive stations including a children’s coloring contest and photo booth area presented by Wells Fargo, a phone display where attendees tested the latest mobile releases from Verizon Wireless, and a car demonstration from Ford of Southern California Dealerships, where attendees were able to sit-in on a displayed Ford Fiesta.

The presenting sponsors of Al Borde's cultural celebration were Ford of Southern California Dealerships and parent company El Clasificado. Supporting sponsors were Wells Fargo and Verizon Wireless.

The Día de los Muertos Music and Art Festival is an annual, cultural celebration presented by Al Borde, a premier Latin alternative media outlet reaching the 18- to 34-year-old Hispanic demographic. Al Borde is owned by EC Hispanic Media, and is a leading Latin Alternative multiplatform company that offers advertising opportunities through sponsored events, section sponsorships, street team promotions, web sites, and mobile services.
