JOIN US FOR A DÍA DE MUERTOS CELEBRATION!
Jump is excited host Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead for the 5th year, on November 2nd from 5:00–7:30PM!
Día de Muertos honors the lives of friends and family who have died, with food, drink, parties, and activities the deceased enjoyed in life. This ancient tradition is based on the unity of life and death, and the belief that the dead would be insulted by sadness.
