Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time for commemorating our ancestors. Rather than a period of mourning, it is an occasion for celebrating with family—both living and dead—and honoring the cycle of life. Learn about La Catrina and her joyful view of life and mortality. Enjoy family-friendly activities throughout the day, including dance performances, coloring activities, and paper marigold and mask making. Visitors are invited to leave photos and mementos of their loved ones on the ofrenda (altar) or commemorate them by writing their names on a butterfly to attach to the memorial arch.

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share this news from the National Park Service announcing a partnership with Casey Trees to plant 250 trees this year in federal parks and lands managed by National Capital Parks—East, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
Thanks to early community outreach, we’ve already funded over 80 trees for Lincoln, Stanton, and Folger Parks in Capitol Hill! Right now, the community can sponsor trees along the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor in SE, with other parks and lands to be determined.
The tree plantings will begin this spring, with remaining trees planted over the course of the year as fundraising continues.
We’re excited to help restore the tree canopy in these historic public spaces!”
Full press release:
“The National Park Service is partnering with Casey Trees to launch a community-driven campaign to plant 250 native and historic trees across historic federal parkland in the nation’s capital to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
The effort, called “250 Years of America, 250 Trees for its Capital,” aims to raise $125,000 to fund planting and long-term care. The campaign has already raised more than $54,000 through early community outreach.
