JOIN US FOR DÍA DE MUERTOS CELEBRATION AT JUMP!
Jump is excited to once again host Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead on Wednesday, November 2nd from 5-8pm.
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 holiday is celebrated with a burst of color and life-affirming joy as those who have passed are kept alive in memory and spirit. This ancient tradition is based on the unity of life and death, and the belief that the dead would be insulted by sadness.
