Children and adults will celebrate Día de los Muertos like never before at this event — an unforgettable day where music, art, and tradition will light up the Aurora Cultural Arts District. Experience the power of live performance as Mariachi las Dahlias and a narrator guides you through the heart of the holiday, blending vibrant sounds with rich storytelling that honors the holiday.
Down the street, dive into hands-on art projects where kids and adults alike craft sugar skulls, flower crowns, and keepsakes for the community altar.
Come not just to celebrate, but to reflect, remember, and embrace the vibrant spirit of a tradition that connects us all.
While the activities at DAVA are open to the public and don’t require reservation ahead of time, we strongly suggest you register for the concert before the event.
