Rogers Place will have a bit more colour and Latin flair for the Oilers game next Monday to celebrate Dia de los Muertos.
The team will be hosting the New Jersey Devils to “highlight and honour another vibrant and diverse community and culture of Oil country,” Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) said in a release on Wednesday.
The night will feature an Oilers Dia de los Muertos logo, a local mariachi band, Latin music, signature cocktails and food.
The Latin holiday, also known as Day of the Dead, is celebrated between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2. It’s a time for people to reconnect with their dead loved ones and remember them with fond memories.
Limited-edition Oilers Dia de los Muertos jerseys will be on display throughout the concourse and available for online auction at a later date to support the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, OEG said.
