The Day of the Dead Experience: Create Your Own Mini Ofrenda
“Ofrenda” is the Spanish term commonly used for a traditional Día de Muertos altar.

Your experience includes:
- 1 hour 45 minute guided cultural workshop
- Introduction to Día de Muertos and the traditional ofrenda
- Step-by-step mini ofrenda activity: Build and decorate your own mini ofrenda alongside your host, adding each traditional element as you learn what it represents and where it belongs.
- All materials included
- Your completed mini ofrenda to take home
- 🍴Pan de muerto and Mexican BITES
- Hot chocolate and refreshments

Hosted by Mexican creative Maria Jose (MJ), you’ll learn about the traditions and symbolism behind the ofrenda while creating your own mini ofrenda to take home.

Early Bird — $60
Regular Admission — $70
Friends & Couples Pass — $130 for two

Throughout the experience, you’ll learn what Día de Muertos is, how it differs from Halloween, and the meaning behind the main elements of an ofrenda.
You’ll then create your own mini ofrenda step by step, adding elements such as cempasúchil (Mexican marigolds), candles, papel picado, photographs and traditional offerings while learning what each one represents.
Your finished mini ofrenda is yours to take home and display.
After the workshop, enjoy A Taste of Día de Muertos with pan de muerto, Mexican bites, hot chocolate and refreshments.
We’ll finish at the Content Hub Studio photo booth, where you can pose with your completed mini ofrenda. Each guest will receive 2 professionally captured digital portraits—solo, with a partner or with friends.
Come on your own, with a partner or with friends. No crafting experience or previous knowledge of Día de Muertos is required.
A creative way to learn about and commemorate the people who are no longer with us.
