Kidspace's Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festivities are a celebration of life.

The program includes live cultural performances, art projects, and a community ofrenda where families can share memories of people and pets who have enriched their lives.

Kids can meet a fantastical alebrije puppet created by Kidspace artist-in-residence Ricky Chavez, and make a puppet of their own in the Imagination Workshop. 

There is also an opportunity to create a postcard in memory of a loved one and add it to the ofrenda or take it home.

The Día de los Muertos celebration includes live cultural music and dance throughout the weekend, beginning Friday, November 1 during the Free First Friday evening. 

Performance schedule:

Friday: YANKUITITL Aztec dance;  5:30pm & 7pm

Saturday: Técnica Arte y Folklore dance; 11:15am & 1:15pm.

 Sunday: Las Colibrí all-female mariachi ensemble, 11:15am & 1:15pm.
