My friend Sarah told me a little while back about an event that she is involved with called La Ofrenda, which is occurring tonight, and also for a few days afterwards from the look of it. It will be taking place beneath and around the Spring Street bridge in downtown Los Angeles.
Tonight promises:
Live music, performance & visual artists, video art, grandmothers talking circles, fire, drumming, dance, tamales and non-alchoholic libations free. Come create living and traditional ofrendas.

I was over there a couple days ago and saw them setting this up. It looks like it’ll be very cool.
