To commemorate the Día de los Muertos tradition, which originated in Mexico and is traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2, Mint Cannabis is teaming up with event and entertainment promoter Lucha Voz and Catri – a local cannabis edibles company that makes THC-infused gummies in nostalgic, Latin-American flavors – to host the third-annual Día de los Muertos parking lot festival on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 4-9 p.m at Mint Cannabis dispensary at 17036 N. Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ (northwest parking lot of Cave Creek Road and Bell Road).
The free one-day festival, hosted in the northwest parking lot at Cave Creek Road and Bell Road in north Phoenix, will offer a lot of interactive entertainment and visuals, including:

– Art Installations (that pay homage to the spirit of Dia de los Muertos);
