Happy Dia de Los Muertos! Day of the Dead is a special time of year and an important celebration in Sayulita as families honor friends and loved ones who have passed on from this life. The party got started in Sayulita with the American traditional celebration of Halloween on Wednesday night. People of all ages were out on the town dressed in costumes and thoroughly enjoying themselves. The Sayulita plaza is currently decorated with Day of the Dead figurines, marigolds, crosses, candles and sugar skulls, all artistically displayed as an offering to the dead. Tonight traditions continue with music and dance downtown starting at 7:30PM. Don't miss this event and the opportunity to take photos of the beautiful Day of the Dead altar set up at Sayulita's gazebo in the plaza.

Today was the first Farmer's Market of the season with a brand new location on Calle Miramar, just down from the bookstore. This season you can expect all your favorite vendors at the market and some new foods and products as well. The Mercado del Pueblo boasts a variety of organic and natural groceries, snacks, soaps, salsas, soups, drinks, fresh flowers and much more.  If you missed it today, be sure to visit the Farmer's Market next Friday!

Along with the rest of Sayulita, the El Sayulero newsletter is gearing up for the season as we go back to weekly editions starting next week. In the upcoming months there is sure to be many events, celebrations, fundraisers, community stories and local news to report. Thank you again to our writing contributors and the over 8,600 readers from all over.

Thank you for reading.

"I love it! I look forward to it every year. For Halloween, I love everyone dressing up and seeing the different extensions of people's personalities. For Day of the Dead, it's a wonderful part of the culture, a connection with the ancestors. The view of death as a normal part of life and not something to be scared of."

  

"�Me encanta! Estoy emocionado cada a�o por est�s eventos. Para Halloween, me encantan los disfraces de todas las gentes y ver las extensiones diferentes de las personalidades de la gente. Para el D�a de los Muertos, es una parte maravillosa de la cultura, una conexi�n con los antepasados. La visi�n de la muerte es como una parte normal de la vida y no algo que tienes temer."

Every year on November first and second, the people gather to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. In this tradition, altars are set up around the plaza in very distinctive styles to make an offering to the spirits who return on this night. Filled with flowers, photos, food, and items that the deceased loved or owned, each tier is full of customs and respect. This year the event in the plaza was organized by a small group who spent the day building and decorating a massive altar on the gazebo steps in the plaza. More

Sayulimpia 

 

You may have seen a group of young people, many of them in green Sayulimpia T-shirts sweeping streets, removing dirt and trash lately.  These are Sayulimpia volunteers who have come from towns all over Bahia de Banderas to help us make Sayulita a cleaner, healthier place.  Sayulimpia helps pay for their housing but they make their living from small contributions given to them from passers by.  If you see them sweeping and you'd like to support what they're doing, we would like to encourage you to help them out with a small contribution.  You will be helping to polish the diamond that is our magical pueblo of Sayulita! 

 

De la misma manera que las corporaciones consiguen tan grande que parten en dos o m�s organizaciones separadas, Grupo Pro Sayulita ha expandido y parte en dos grupos.

Estoy feliz por estar de regreso y escribiendo para El Sayulero otra vez. Tambi�n estoy feliz que yo soy fan�tico de los Giants durante esta �poca del a�o, lo que coincide con este s�ndwich gigante. El s�ndwich Winnet es nuestro lonche favorito en Ruben's y no perdimos tiempo en pedir uno.  Mas
