Mariposas on the Plaza

Tradition says that the butterflies that migrate through in the Fall and during the festival of Dia de los Muertos are the souls of departed loved ones returning to greet and bless those they left behind. Join us on the evening of Sunday, November 1 to celebrate the memory and joy of the love that remains. You can dedicate a butterfly to your loved ones and we’ll adorn the trees on Main Plaza with your mariposa. Sweet treats, acoustic music, and the glow of the cathedral and twinkling lights will make for a beautiful, and contemplative evening. We hope you will stop by.
