Rogers Park celebrates Día de los Muertos

The nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance is proud to announce the first-ever community celebration of Día de los Muertos, November 1-2, 2025. The celebration takes place within the vibrant Mexican Cultural District, Camino Clark (Clark Street), which stretches from Howard Street to Devon Avenue. A community altar will be on display, consisting of photos gifted from neighbors to honor passed loved ones, and local Camino Clark businesses will offer Día de los Muertos specials. More details are available at RPBA.org.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday that honors passed loved ones with ofrendas—altars decorated with photos, memories, and offerings. This year, Camino Clark will create a community altar where neighbors are invited to contribute by bringing copies of loved ones’ photos to the GROW/PROGRESANDO Center (7056 N. Clark St.) between October 15–30. Drop-off hours are Wednesdays from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. and Thursdays from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. The altar will be on display through November 2.
