26th Annual Día de los Muertos Festival
Milagro's celebration of Día de los Muertos will include an original performance and a lobby altar display. Their theme this year is "bridging divides," so the cultural organization is working to build connections through the biggest divide of all: death! The ¡Viva la Muerte! performance promises to be a silly-yet-macabre dramatic comedy; they'll also offer altar-building activities, an "altar bike tour," and more throughout the month.
