Free Family Day—Dia de los Muertos

Free Family Day—Dia de los Muertos

Marking the eighth year celebrating Dia de Los Muertos at the Myrtle Beach Art Museum, this Mexican tradition gives visitors a way to connect with the culture of our neighbors. Used as a way to memorialize those family members and friends who have passed on, Dia de los Muertos includes a variety of arts, food, and other crafts. At this festivity, visitors can watch and participate in crafts workshops to make masks, papel picado, and the famous sugar skulls. Artist’s altars, a main way that the Mexican culture celebrates the lives of those who are gone, will also be displayed. Traditional Mexican dancing, a live Mariachi band, and even a piñata will be present at this event.

The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum, 3100 S. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach. Saturday, 11am-3pm. Free. (843)238-2510, www.myrtlebeachartmuseum.org
