An inclusive ceremony of love and remembrance is planned at the fig trees, Heritage Park, in Mullumbimby on Sunday, November 10 from 3pm.
Local celebrant and deathwalker, Zenith Virago facilitates the event, and told The Echo it is the event’s 18th year. ‘Over those 18 years, thousands of people have come with their photos, mementos, even the ashes of their families and friends. The Day of the Dead Ceremony is an opportunity for everyone to come together for those who have died, are dying, or who are lost to us in some way. Although it has the same name as the South American celebration, this is a uniquely Australian cultural experience, open to any religion, spirituality, belief or culture’.
