Occupy the Santa Ana Art Walk – and Dia de Los Muertos too, on Saturday

This Saturday’s Santa Ana Art Walk, on Nov. 5, might be the biggest one ever.  Not only does it coincide with the 9th Annual Noche de Altares (Dia de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead) event, we are also going to see the Occupy Santa Ana movement conduct a protest at 1:00 in front of the Bank of American on 4th and Main, for Move your Money Out Day.  (B of A announced today that they are cancelling their monthly debit card fee increase, so perhaps folks won’t be moving their money out after all).

The Occupiers are then  having a march from 6:30 to 8 through Downtown Santa Ana, where the Day of the Dead Altars will be set up, and then on to the Artists Village.  They will end the march at the Santora Building, at the Studio del Sotano, with a Sangria party.
