The Los Medanos College Puente Program hosted the first annual Dia de los Muertos celebration Oct. 29 in the Indoor Quad from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day focuses on remembering loved ones who have passed. The celebration traditionally takes place over a period of three days, starting on Oct. 30. Participants of the festivities were treated to facepainting, sugar skull decorating, food sales and altar displays. The displays were encouraged to be made by each department.
