The Day of the Dead is an ancient celebration that inspires many people beyond Nov. 2 and celebrates the loved ones that died.

Many use it as inspiration to write poems, dress extravagantly, create new wearables and more. Under a rooftop at Alma, a Día de los Muertos Fashion Experience combines cheer, culture, art and creativity, bringing together a mystical night.

Locals have the opportunity to see the artwork of local designers. Attendees are encouraged to dress up and share their unique style.

6-9pm Friday, Nov. 6. Rooftop parking structure, 1 Main St. (entrance through Lincoln Street), Salinas. $34; $82/VIP. @ms_natalie_galaxy @nickoromo, bit.ly/almafashionsal2026.
