Besito Celebrates El Dia De Los Muertos

Besito will be celebrating the Day of the Dead on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2. Join Besito Mexican as they celebrate and educate guests on the traditional Mexican Holiday of El Dia de los Muertos with sweet comforts of traditional Mexican dishes designed specifically for the holiday.

Traditional “ofrendas” or altars will be displayed to honor the holiday while keepsake cards educate guests on Day of the Dead.
