Vibrant and lively, the Carpinteria Dia de los Muertos event paid homage to the dead as it danced its way through town last weekend. Saturday’s downtown parade and festivities at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club featured Aztec dancers, costumed saints and skeletons of all shapes and sizes. Sunday afternoon brought art workshops and more revelry to the Carpinteria Arts Center, though rainy weather cut the program short. This weekend, a second Dia de los Muertos event takes place on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. For more imagery from last weekend’s festivities, see page 28.
