The Rambunctious Social Club is hosting a Mexican Night of the Dead Ball, offering a unique cultural experience. This event invites attendees to engage with the traditions of Mictlán through a lively atmosphere filled with mariachi, cumbia, and punk influences. It promises a vibrant celebration of Mexican heritage, encapsulating the spirit of community and joy.

This celebration serves as not just a party but a festival in a night, highlighting the rich cultural tapestry of Mexican festivities.
