Celebrate Dia de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead at Midtown Global Market.
Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture.

One of the centerpieces of this event will be an authentic Ofrenda (altar) created from objects that remind us of loved ones who have passed on.

• Local artists, Aaron Ortiz & Gustavo Boada will host a craft station to teach kids how to create one of the most recognized symbols of the holiday, sugar skulls.

CLUES, Minnesota’s largest Latino-led nonprofit organization, has recruited local artists to conduct craft workshops including:
• Alondra Garza will lead a papel picado (“pecked paper”) workshop
• Flor Soto will teach how to make paper flowers
• Raquel Goutierez conduct a calaveras (decorative skulls) painting class
• Cadex Herrera and Zamara Cuyun will be leading a barriletes workshop (traditional Guatemalan kites for Todos Santos – All Saints Day)
• Special appearances from members of Teatro del Pueblo
• Gustavo Boada's Catrinas will be on display in the central court
