Morningside families and friends are invited to attend Dia de los Muertos at the Morningside Community Center on Saturday, November 2.

ABOUT Dia de los Muertos

In Mexico, Dia de los Muertos is an opportunity to say goodbye and remember loved ones who have died. It’s also a way to celebrate and connect with family and friends by telling stories, making art, and eating good food together.

The event is free to attend and open to all ages. The event features Mexican traditions, including an interactive Pittsburgh-themed ofrenda. Participants can look forward to face painting, art-making, talking with Yinzers Unidos Spanish language group, and receiving resources from Pittsburgh Community Deathcare. Artwork from Ricardo Solis will be available for purchase, as well as food from La Palapa Mexican food truck and coffee from Ka-Fair coffee shop.

To volunteer before or during the event, please contact Bethany Narajka or Yazmin Tapia-Martinez. 

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS BI-ANNUAL YARD DEBRIS COLLECTION EVENT

The City reminds residents to drive with caution and slow down during trick-or-treating hours. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe and be on the lookout for any risks.

For a safe trick-or-treating experience, follow these tips:

• Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.

• Choose face paint and makeup instead of masks if possible to reduce the risk obstructing a child's vision.

• Have kids carry flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.

• Make sure costumes are the correct size to prevent trips and falls.

• If you are escorting children, please keep an eye on the road for vehicles.

• Don't walk on the street. Stay on sidewalks and cross streets when safe at intersections and crosswalks.

Join us to celebrate the arrival of spooky season at the Morningside Area Community Council's Fall-O-Ween!

This event is family-friendly, but open to everyone from the neighborhood of all ages. Join us for a kids costume contest, face painting, and Bulldog drink specials.

Costumes optional, but encouraged!
