Celebrate the Day of the Dead and honor the lives of those who have passed on a special Día de los Muertos themed art tour on Sunday, Nov. 2. The free, one-night-only tour will explore artworks along the Metro Gold Line through the lens of artist Consuelo Flores.

The tour will depart at 4:30 p.m. from the Metro Gold Line East LA Civic Center Station and end at 6 p.m. at Self Help Graphics’ 41st Annual Día de los Muertos Celebration in Boyle Heights near Pico/Aliso Station. TAP card holders will be able to save 10% on artwork at the event. [NOTE: Sunday is the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means clocks will be “falling” back one hour at midnight. Make sure all your clocks are updated…wouldn’t want to show up for the tour an hour early!]

The tour is approximately 90% walking. There are elevators and escalators in all of the stations, and only Mariachi Station is underground.
