If you’ve got skeletons in your closet, now isn’t the time to let them out. You can, however, bring your boney friends to this year’s Day of the Dead celebration featuring the smooth celebratory sounds of Eugenia Leon and Grammy Award winners Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano. Honor the life of loved ones who have passed on by celebrating this Day of the Dead. UCLA’s Royce Hall will host the festivities on Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.
