where: downtown Boise: outside in Freak Alley (on Bannock between 8th & 9th) & inside at Fatty's Bar
time: Wednesday November 2, 2011. 5pm-11pm
Artist Luke Schafer and I will be performing live once again together! We will be painting live at The Dia de los Muertos Festival in downtown Boise on the night of November 2nd. We will have a performance outside in Freak Alley between 5:30-6:30pm and then we will perform inside of Fatty's Bar around 9pm.
Coinciding with the Christian tradition of All Saints Day & All Souls Day (Nov 1 & Nov 2)...."Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is ...a long-standing tradition in Mexico taking place on the 2nd of November. The streets are filled with beautiful altars in honor of loved-ones past and reverberate with song, costumed processions, and a huge Celebration of Life for those that have passed.
In an effort to recreate this sort of celebration, a group of us Boiseans decided it was time to call together a community event. This is a FREE, ALL AGES EVENT and we encourage everyone to paint their faces, dress in costume, and bring any sort of art in the style and tradition of the Day of the Dead.
The current list of events is as follows thus far:
-Art and alters will be on display in Freak Alley (between 8th and 9th st on Bannock) from 5-9PM
-Authentic Mexican taco truck will be parked close by from 5-8PM
-Traditional dance and music performance from 5:30 to 7PM including performances by Mariachi Juvenil de Mi Tierra
-Costume community walking parade downtown from 7-8PM
-All commencing in a party at Fatty's Bar on 8th St with live music by Lo-Fi from 9-11PM (21+, $5)"
