First Fridays is honoring and celebrating Día de los Mu***os on Friday, November 7, 2025. We invite our local community, businesses and organizations to help us make this a beautiful night to remember.

Please enjoy learning about this special tradition:

🌼 Día de los Mu***os: A Celebration of Life and Memory 💀

Traditionally, on November 1st & 2nd, families across Mexico and other parts of Latin America come together to celebrate Día de los Mu***os—the Day of the Dead. (First Fridays will celebrate on 11/7)

It’s not spooky or scary like Halloween. Instead, it’s a beautiful tradition that honors loved ones who’ve passed away with love, food, music, and memories.

Families build colorful altars (called ofrendas) decorated with candles, marigolds, photos, sugar skulls, and favorite foods of those they’re remembering. The idea is that for a brief time, the spirits of loved ones return to visit, and they’re welcomed with everything they loved in life.

It’s joyful, meaningful, and deeply rooted in honoring ancestry and the cycles of life. 🌺

One of the beautiful things about Día de los Mu***os is how it reminds us that so many cultures around the world have special ways of honoring those who’ve passed. 🕊️

In Japan, there’s Obon, a summer festival where families welcome the spirits of their ancestors with lanterns and dances. In parts of West Africa, funerals are vibrant celebrations of life. In Poland, people visit cemeteries with candles on All Saints’ Day. 💫

Grief and remembrance look different everywhere—but that shared need to remember, to celebrate, and to stay connected? That’s universal. 🌍

Do you or your family have a tradition or story around remembering loved ones? We would love to hear about it. ❤️

Come see us this weekend at the I Heart 66 Fest, to learn more about the restoration of one of our community's most treasured historic gems, the Hotel Beale!!!

✨🏨 The renovation of the historic 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞’𝐬 facade is still pushing forward, according to 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲.

The 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, was a major milestone that lit the spark that will ultimately reimagine downtown. Since then, Kingman’s core has been transforming into a place where people want to gather, stroll, and reconnect, one project at a time.

Not too long ago, America abandoned its downtowns for malls and big box shopping. But maybe now we feel the pull to step back outside, to enjoy the sunlight, to look up at historic facades and rekindle the simple joy of being part of a community.

The 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 will be one more sign that our past and future can meet in the heart of the city.
