<\/p>\nA Mexican-inspired Day of the Dead Weekender with a late-night candlelit procession is coming to New Brighton this November.<\/p>\n
The two-day celebration of culture and community, on\u00a0Saturday November 1 and Sunday November 2, will feature family activities in the daytime including drummers, fire performances and dance, as well as events across lots of local bars, restaurants and venues.<\/p>\n
One of the highlights will be a Latin-themed launch party at the Floral Pavilion on Saturday night with three hours of DJs, cocktails, live entertainment and an energetic rhythm-packed headline performance from Los Amigos.<\/p>\n
That will culminate around 10.15pm in a\u00a0candlelit procession, with costumes and specially-created oversized Day of the Dead heads,\u00a0along the promenade to Victoria Road where the celebrations will carry on with late-night live music and plenty of drinks offers.<\/p>\n
Although the launch party is for adults only, the Floral Pavilion will also be hosting a fun Family Festival\u00a0on Saturday afternoon from\u00a012pm to 4.30pm. That will have face painting and art workshops, live music and dance performances, craft stalls and artisan makers, and delicious Mexican food.<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll also be ofrenda displays, a Mexican D\u00eda de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) tradition where families create altars covered with personal items, photos and even favourite food and drink as a celebration of the lives of lost loved ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Across New Brighton, venues including\u00a0The Pilot Boat,\u00a0The Clarence Hotel,\u00a0The Master Mariner,\u00a0District House,\u00a0Riptide Bar,\u00a0 and\u00a0The New Brighton Hotel\u00a0will be getting into the Day of the Dead spirit with their own events featuring live music, quizzes, cocktail specials and family-friendly activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone going along on Sunday afternoon will be able to enjoy entertainment from local acts such as\u00a0the\u00a0NWPAS Performing Arts School and Wirral Samba Drummers who\u2019ll be performing outside The James Atheron and The Queens Royal.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0charity raffle\u00a0will also be running alongside the event, with proceeds supporting\u00a0Deaf Active, a charity which empowers young people through inclusive arts and community engagement, and the\u00a0New Brighton Partnership CIC, which works to promote local regeneration and cultural events.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the New Brighton Partnership says the Day of the Dead Weekender is a fantastic example of how local businesses and the community can work together to make something special that benefits everyone.<\/p>\n
