Celebrate Día de Muertos, a vibrant tradition celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed. This Mexican holiday is rooted in rich traditions, including colorful altars called ofrendas, which offer a space for reflection and remembrance. Visit the Community Ofrenda in the museum’s lobby to add mementos or simply reflect on memories shared. During Día de Muertos, families use marigolds, candles and offerings to welcome the spirits of ancestors. Create a marigold craft in the Education Room on Friday and Saturday from 1–3pm.
Mariachi Cristal from Las Vegas High School will give a special performance in the museum on Saturday at 1pm, bringing the vibrant sounds of traditional Mexican music to the celebration of Día de Muertos.
Día de Muertos celebrates the spirit of remembrance, inviting all to reflect on the shared experiences and honor the lives and memories. Be a guest of Nevada State Museum for this heartfelt, joyful holiday, and come together as a community to connect, share stories and experience such vibrant traditions.
All activities free with admission.
