Events Description
The festival invites the public to come together to reclaim death as a special part of life. This event is dedicated to exploring and honouring the significance of mourning in public spaces. In a world where grief is often private and hidden, the Good Mourning Festival invites you to celebrate the profound communal aspects of mourning. Through workshops, food, shopping, art installations, walks and more, we create a space where grief can be expressed, shared and understood.
The Good Mourning Festival is more than an event – it’s a chance for people to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion in our public spaces. See below for details on each day and to find out how to register for Octobers offerings.
Day 1: Together in Grief
On Saturday, November 2, from 10am – 3pm, together, we will demonstrate the role of public space in public grief. We invite our visitors to explore the universal themes of grief and death with open hearts and open minds. The day offers a warm embrace, featuring interactive installations that invite you to engage, workshops that encourage meaningful conversations and art pieces that celebrate the human experience.
Come and be part of this inviting space where you can connect with others, share your stories and find comfort in the shared journey of life and loss. We extend a heartfelt invitation to all, as we come together to explore these profound aspects of our existence in a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, fostering understanding and connection.
Day 2: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
Evergreen’s beloved Day of the Dead celebration is back on Saturday, November 3, from 10am – 3pm! Día de los Muertos is celebration of Mexican and Latin American culture where people welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion. Expect to see an explosion of colour and activities for children and adults alike. It incorporates traditional Mexican and Latin American celebrations, shopping, fun family activities and delicious food and drink. Let’s celebrate the cultural diversity of our city at Día de los Muertos together!
