About this Event

On Sunday, November 2, the History Museum will join with Casa Círculo Cultural to present a Día de los Muertos celebration. In front of the museum, Courthouse Square will be decorated with sugar skulls, marigolds, and lights. This year, the display is inspired by the Tonantzintla style—a distinctive art form from Puebla, Mexico. Known for its dazzling colors, ornate patterns, and joyful blend of Indigenous and European traditions, this style offers a perfect introduction to Mexican cultural heritage. The celebration will also highlight the costumes of Puebla, famous for their embroidered details and expressive designs that reflect centuries of artistry and cultural pride. Dancers, artists, and musicians will perform. Entertainment on the Square will begin at 3:00 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m.

The History Museum will be open with free admission from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m on Sunday, November 2 and host free children’s crafts in the Rotunda. Entrance to the crafts and general admission will be through the main entrance on Broadway.

The Festival of the Altars will be in Courtroom A and the Atkinson Room. On November 2, there will be a special entrance on the Middlefield Road side of the History Museum for those wishing to view the altars.

Altars will remain on display through Friday, November 7, and there will be free admission on Friday, November 7. If you are interested in having an altar on display, contact [email protected].
