DEATH: Today is the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), which, to those who observe, means creating altars to their lost loved ones that are covered with painted skulls and marigolds, and bread of the dead (Pan de muerto) and other favourite foods of the deceased are eaten. The NACO Gallery Café on Dundas Street has gotten into the spirit of things this year, with a window display, an altar, day of the dead–inspired art, and live music. They've also gotten many businesses and homes in the Dundas West community to celebrate with them, with places such as Zoots Café, Hen House, and Beadle each contributing something to the festivities. NACO Gallery Café (1665 Dundas Street West), 6 p.m., FREE.
