Join us for a festive celebration of Day of the Dead presented in conjunction with the Palo Alto Art Center’s exhibition Treasures from The Mexican Museum: A Spirited Legacy. Enjoy a variety of enriching, educational, and cultural activities at four different venues. At the Art Center, participate in a variety of Day of the Dead activities and watch traditional music and dance performances, co-sponsored by Raices de Mexico. At Children’s Library, hear a very special storytelling session by nationally recognized Latina performer Olga Loya. At the Main Library, participate in a special teen workshop to decorate sugar skulls. Participants in Children’s Theatre’s Night of the Living Dead will help guide visitors between the four venues throughout the day—providing a festive and spooky procession for kids of all ages!
