Dia De Los Muertos
If you are looking for events to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead for the gringos out there), there are is a slew of them out there on Saturday.
Among the highlights:
Learn how to make sugar skull sculptures at the Bath House Cultural Center. Be sure and stop back by for some Ghost Tales later that night.
30 local artists are participating in a Dia De Lost Muertos show over at Ice House. There will also be a performance by an Aztec dance group and guitar playing. Earlier in the day, head over there to learn how to make papel picado.
Local artists have created traditional altars that are used to honor loved ones over at the Latino Cultural Center.
A large puppet procession, complete with music, is going down over at Rose Marine Theatre in Fort Worth.
These are just a few of the events. A complete listing of local Dia goings on is available on our calendar.
Also on Sunday Opening Bell Mosaic in Downtown Dallas will have a Dia De Los Muertos memorial show from 2pm to 11pm. There is a $10 donation and portions of the proceeds will benefit the Fisher House, a non-profit which cares for our wounded Veterans. There will be an open altar for all, so please bring any offerings you may have for loved ones you have lost. More information can be found at the Opening Bell Website on the Mosaic events calendar where you can find out the story of what the memorial concert is for.
