Next Up: El Día de los Muertos


Don't forget we're headed to Navy Pier's Crystal Gardens November 2nd at 10:30 for a celebration of Day of the Dead. We'll witness local artists Eric Garcia, Esperanza Gama, and Pablo Serrano as they install and decorate ofrendas (altars), and learn more about this time-honored Mexican tradition of honoring the departed. In addition, we are invited to leave a note on the community ofrenda and participate in hands-on craft activities. The tour and activity slot will be a total of 45 minutes that will consist of a 20 min. tour followed by mini-workshops where students will have an opportunity to participate at each of the 4 ofrendas. The tour is free, however there is a fee of $5 per student participating in these workshops.
