Celebrate Día de Muertos at the HRM with art-making activities and our community altar, or ofrenda, where you are invited to place pictures of your departed loved ones.* Join us for a special art workshop where you can create your own sugar skull mask, or calavera, an important part of the annual celebration that ties the reality of death to more hopeful concepts of rebirth, resurrection, and regeneration. Recommended for ages 4+.

About Día de Muertos
Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos, is celebrated on November 1 and 2 in the southern regions of Mexico. November 1 is generally referred to as Día de los Inocentes, or Day of the Innocents, to honor the souls of departed children and infants. November 2nd is Día de Todos Santos, or All Souls Day, when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives.

This year’s ofrenda is created by Xochiquetzal.
