Join us for the final Dia De Los Muertos celebration at Race Brook Lodge.
For three years we’ve embraced the time honored tradition of Dia De Los Muertos - transforming our performance barn interior into a deep-resonating offrenda space - and decorating this room-sized alter with gifts of beauty for those who’ve gone before us.
Please join us for the final activation of this tradition at Race Brook - in a series of events commemorating, remembering and honoring the great path of letting go that we all must walk. This is an opportunity to participate in a cherished tradition, preserving the heritage and significance day of the dead and all souls day. Join us as we pay tribute to this timeless Mexican celebration.
At 6pm in the Barn Space, we will host a Fandango de Los Muertos featuring the band, Pulso de Barro, a Race Brook favorite.
At 8pm we will begin the open mic for the dead. Please bring photos and talismans of ancestors and people who have recently passed away - for the offrenda. And bring a song or a poem or a toast to offer your loved ones in the next world. Use the microphone to talk directly into the spirit world.
At 10:30 we will begin the Fandango for the Dead. Bring instruments and voices and dance shoes.

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
ARTIST BIOS
Mexican American musicians Maria Puente Flores, Mateo Cano, Víctor Lizabeth, Oviedo Horta Jr and Andrea explore the tradition of Son Jarocho as Pulso De Barro. Pulso de Barro merges poetry and music as ways of coexisting reciprocally with nature. Their band's name (and the name of their weekly radio show in Kingston) Pulso de Barro translates as “pulse of the clay” referring to a unifying earth pulse that makes the building blocks of story and culture. The musicians draw on their varied heritages (Mexican, Cuban, Venezuelan and Puerto Rican) to create a synthesis that rises above the sum of its parts. Members play Jarana and Leona (stringed instruments), quijada, cajon, maracas, and marimba (percussive instruments), dance on the Tarima (percussive platform) and sing folk and original compositions called Versadas.
