Celebrate Loved Ones During ‘Day of The Bread’ at The Monica

"The celebration of those who have passed on and are no longer with us, but whose spirit lives on!"

The Monica at 40 E. Congress St. is hosting its annual Day of the Bread celebration from 6 – 9 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29 in honor of Dia de Los Muertos.

The Bread Bazaar will feature baked goods from La Estrella Bakery, Pau’s Pan Dulce, Beyond Bread, Alejandro’s Tortilla Factory, Chez Feliz, and Carriage Cakery.

Tickets are $50 per person and that gets you three drink tickets, bread samples including a special Pan de Muerto recipe, and a chance to win a dinner for six people hosted by Chef Carlotta Flores at El Charro Café.

Also, a portion of every ticket sold and a percentage of all sales from the Day of The Bread event will benefit the following two Tucson non-profits:

  • Tucson Interfaith HIV/AIDS Network (TIHAN) brings together religious, secular, corporate, and non-profit organizations and creates an inclusive support network for people living with HIV.
  • Tu Nidito is a very special local non–profit agency that offers grieving children a community of acceptance and understanding during their time of need.

Also, you’ll be able to purchase whole loaves of bread to take home. Then, in addition to the food, there will be live music, face painting, games, crafts, and gifts.

Please bring a photo or keepsake of anyone’s life you would like to celebrate to leave at The Monica’s Dia de Los Muertos and Day of The Bread altar.

The Monica is located at 40 E. Congress St. For more information and to purchase your tickets, visit themonica.com.
