Performance at our Good mourning festival

Good Mourning Festival

November 7 & 8

Join us on Nov 7 & 8 for our annual Together in Grief and Día de los Muertos celebration

About the festival

The festival invites the public to come together to reclaim death as a special part of life. This event is dedicated to exploring and honouring the significance of mourning in public spaces. In a world where grief is often private and hidden, the Good Mourning Festival invites you to celebrate the profound communal aspects of mourning. Through workshops, food, shopping, art installations, walks and more, we create a space where grief can be expressed, shared and understood.

 

The Good Mourning Festival is more than an event – it’s a chance for people to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion in our public spaces. More information on 2026’s festival coming soon.
