Experience Mexican folkloric dance, create Guatemalan giant kites, enjoy bilingual puppet shows, and share memories at the museum's community ofrenda.

At the heart of the festival sits a community ofrenda designed by Brooklyn-based artist Benjamin Rojas (Mincho Vega) and artists Johann and Adalhi Armendáriz-Mittnacht. Families can leave offerings, share photographs, and add their own tributes to loved ones at this collaborative altar that grows during the course of the day.

Calpulli Mexican Dance Company brings traditional Mexican folkloric dance to life with vibrant costumes and rhythms, while Karina Onofre presents bilingual puppet shows about Día de los Santos celebrations in Guatemala. Artist Yadira De La Riva leads storytelling sessions that teach children about ofrendas and honoring ancestors.

Throughout the day, DJ Farbeon spins Latin, World, Soul, Funk, House, and Hip Hop. Families can craft giant barrilete kites with Mayan artist Ixmucane Artisan in the ColorLab studio, learning about this Guatemalan tradition of honoring and communicating with ancestors. On the rooftop, an arts and crafts marketplace showcases local Latinx artists and Taqueria El Patron serves food throughout the day.
