Noche Mexican BBQ is celebrating its fourth anniversary and Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through this Friday, Nov. 3.
This Mexican holiday traces its origins back 3,000 years to pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. It’s believed that on this day (typically Nov. 1-2) the separation between the physical and spiritual worlds dissolves. The dead reawaken as honored guests in their families’ celebrations — which often include feasts, parades, dancing, altar making, and leaving offerings called ofrendas.
Here are a few ways to celebrate the tradition with Noche this week:
- All week: $10 Herradura margs and Tres Generaciones palomas + free face painting beginning at 7 p.m.
- Wednesday: Mariachi De Kentucky, 7-10 p.m.
- Thursday: Acorde Latin Trio dance, 7 p.m.
- Friday: Louisville Salsa Underground, 10 p.m.
Pro tip: Be sure to make a reservation if you’re staying for dinner.
