Dia de Los Muertos, celebrated on November 2, is a traditional holiday in Mexico and parts of Latin America. Families place altars in their homes, adorn them with pictures of loved ones who have passed and set out bowls with their favorite foods. Many Latino communities in California host festivals with public installations of altars -- like the one taking place in Oakland's Fruitvale this weekend.
