Placerville (Nov 1, 2024) – The annual Sugar Skull Art Walk returns to Placerville, California, in 2024, bringing together local artists, families, and community members to celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with a lively and colorful stroll through downtown. Taking place on November 4, this year’s Art Walk promises a captivating array of artistic displays, cultural performances, and hands-on workshops, all designed to honor the rich traditions of this Mexican holiday and encourage community connection.

Hosted by Placerville Downtown Association and local business partners, the event transforms the streets with intricate sugar skull artwork, marigold-adorned altars, and vibrant decorations. Throughout the day, local artists will showcase their interpretations of sugar skulls in various mediums—from traditional painting to digital art, ceramics, and even community murals. Many artists are expected to include personal tributes within their displays, honoring loved ones and preserving memories through their artwork.

Local businesses along Main Street will offer themed treats and artisan goods, with several shops donating a portion of proceeds to cultural education programs in El Dorado County.

Families can enjoy a variety of children’s activities, including face painting, sugar skull decorating, and papel picado (traditional paper cutting) workshops. In an effort to make the event accessible to all, organizers are keeping entry free of charge, welcoming both locals and visitors from across Northern California to experience the magic of this tradition.
