Southern Utah's largest Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration returns with music, dance, food, art, and more to honor our ancestors!
This event is free and open to everyone to learn about and celebrate the Mexican and Latin American holiday, Día de los Muertos.
Throughout the event guests can celebrate with performances by Mariachi Rosas Divinas, Dallas Fort Worth's first and only all female Mariachi, and southern Utah's Ballet Folklórico Herencia Hispana. Create art with family and friends through sugar skull cookies, paper marigolds, and Calavera masks!
Remember your loved ones through our Community Ofrenda (altar) on display from October 29 - November 5. Email your photos to sumamarketing@suu.edu or bring a framed picture with your name, email, and phone number to the museum between October 10-26. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute a loved one's name to the altar during the event.
