COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

The Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District hosts an annual Dia de los Muertos event with live music, folkloric dancing and traditional blessings that is open to the public. Bringing the community together in celebration at the cemetery is an activity that fosters goodwill and community pride in the district. The Coachella Valley Public Cemetery was formed in 1927 with boundaries that include approximately 3,444 square miles.

Be a Champion

As special districts, our ability to navigate change and overcome challenges is greatly influenced by the relationships we foster with our communities. The effort to engage with the community must be made consistently, and frequently to build trust and rapport in good times as a foundation for the inevitable challenging times that occur. By embracing the power of public events and expanding our role as community partners, we can proactively shape perceptions, establish trust, and generate support.

Join us in the CSDA Annual Conference & Exhibitor Showcase session, "Public Events to Build Community Equity," to explore how events can serve as catalysts for building stronger bonds, advancing the district’s mission, and becoming advocates for positive change within our communities. Together, let's strive for meaningful engagement, collaboration, and the continued enhancement of our vital services.
