Dia de los Muertos

Auer Lawn, Promenade Park, 202 W. Superior St.
The Day of the Dead is a holiday in Mexico where families welcome back the souls of the deceased and celebrate their brief reunion with food, drink, and festive activities.

Te invitamos a ser creativo con las actividades festivas populares: pintar calaveras de azúcar, pinturas de cara y más.
Holiday Window Displays at Promenade Park
November 24 – January 3
Get a small glimpse of daily winter life at Promenade Park through our handmade paper cut light boxes. Paper cut light boxes are believed to have originated from China after paper was first invented. Many countries picked up the skill, but Switzerland remains the enduring leader referring to the art form as Scherenschnitt. The light boxes will be displayed in the windows of the Park Foundation Pavilion at Promenade Park from November 24 to January 3 and can be best viewed at dusk.
Sensory Friendly Night of Lights

Explore your senses in a new light! The program will be offered in 15-minute sessions throughout the evening beginning at 6:00 p.m. Sessions with the Three Rivers Visiting Dogs will also be available. Admission is FREE, thanks to the AWS Foundation, and open to all.
