For 20 years, artisanal Oaxacan and Mexican bread has been served to the Salinas community at La Soledad Bakery located at 617 E. Alisal St.
Now, it is celebrating its official grand opening and ribbon cutting on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 29. The bakery will also celebrate Día De Los Muertos and has been selling pan de muerto, a traditional soft Mexican sweet bread since Oct. 15, starting at $10.
An altar or ofrenda is also located inside the bakery where people can put photos of their past loved ones.
“We have pan de muerto (day of the dead bread) until November 3 and our super sale is on October, 29, 30 and 31,” owner Sandra Iveth Santos said in a social media post.
Thursday’s celebration will have a local DJ playing music throughout the evening and performances from La Danza de Los Diablos, a Oaxacan and Afro-Mexican diaspora group. Raffles and prizes will also be available for attendees.
The event will take place from 5:30pm - 7:00pm.
La Soledad bakery is open every day from 4:30am - 8pm.
