Día de Muertos: Day of the Dead
Join us to celebrate Día de Muertos, a vibrant tradition celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed.
Honoring the Dead
This Mexican holiday is rooted in rich traditions, including colorful altars called ofrendas, which offer a space for reflection and remembrance. Visit our Community Ofrenda in the museum’s lobby, where you can add your own mementos or simply reflect on the memories shared.
Traditional Crafting
During Día de Muertos, families use marigolds, candles and offerings to welcome the spirits of their ancestors. Create your own marigold craft in the Education Room on Friday and Saturday from 1–3pm.
Experience Live Mariachi | Saturday, November 2nd | 1pm
Mariachi Cristal from Las Vegas High School will give a special performance in the museum, bringing the vibrant sounds of traditional Mexican music to our celebration of Día de Muertos.
Día de Muertos celebrates the spirit of remembrance, inviting us to reflect on our shared experiences and honor the lives and memories that shape us. We invite you to join us for this heartfelt, joyful holiday, and we look forward to coming together as a community to connect, share stories and experience such vibrant traditions.
