CALL FOR DONORS!! No, not your body parts—just the extra bits you may have laying around. Please check our WISHLIST for items you may have that will assist us in the transformation of the Mexican Heritage Plaza into a space to celebrate and memorialize our Muertitos.
Sunday, November 1st, 2pm – 8pm
School of Arts & Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza
1700 Alum Rock Avenue, San Jose
Cover $5; kids 12 and under free.
Advance tickets available at laultimaparada.brownpapertickets.com
La Ultima Parada will showcase the vibrancy of Mexican culture through a collection of art, dances and musical performances that pay tribute to the past, present and future. In doing so, we are seeking donations for items on our WISHLIST . . .
LED Tea Light Candles
Artist, Raquel Burciaga, will be transforming the Palm Grove into a CampoSanto (graveyard) honoring many of our cultural icons that have passed. We are looking for little LED tea light candles for the garden and pond area. If possible, we would love the submersible kind so we can put them in the pond. We will also take the regular, non-submersible kind to put around the garden and pond area.
Bum Cushions
Artist SonidoClash featuring DJ’s Turbo Sonidero, Chatos1013 & Special guest El Mero Guero will be spinning in the Garden Pond. No, really–we mean IN the Garden Pond. We would like cushions to put on the concrete around the pond for people to sit. Because of the coloring of the tile around the pond, we would like plain and simple colors. Single color, no crazy prints. Ideally white or off-white. Also, ideally long sections but we will take small single sections as well.
Flags for inside the Plaza
Artist & LUP Co-creative, Rick Moreno will be building the Main Altar in the center of the Plaza. We would like to complement the ambiance with color. There are flag holders all around the plaza, and we would like to fill them with flags from the 21 Spanish speaking countries in the world. If schools would like to donate a flag with their colors or logo (with no writing), those will gladly be accepted.
If you can accommodate (or would simply like to make a donation) kindly write to us at LaUltimaParada2015@gmail.com and we will schedule a pick-up. ¡Mil gracias!
