The Veggies From Mexico Community Celebrates The Day of the Dead
Culiacán, Sin.- Just as every year, the companies that are part of the Veggies From Mexico community held various activities to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Employees and their families participated in creating altars, decorations, and spaces filled with color and tradition.
This celebration, widely known across Mexico, encourages us to remember and honor those who are no longer with us, by keeping alive the traditions that brings us together. Here are some activities developed by various companies within the community.
