10th annual Día de los Muertos Festival at the City of Raleigh Museum on Fayetteville St, Friday Nov 6, 6 to 9. Big community ofrenda by Lety Alvarez, Baile Folklórico Vicky, face painting, pan de muerto. Is it ok to bring a photo for the altar if you're not Mexican? Don't want to be weird about it.

We brought a photo of my dad last year and the volunteers were so kind about it. It's a community altar, they want people to participate.
eight windows to go

The dancers fill up the main room fast, get there around 6 if you want a spot to see. Pan de muerto went quick too.
still researching

Free and super family friendly. It gets warm inside with the crowd so dress light under your coat.
ask me about comps
Thank you, that's really nice to hear. Bringing my grandmother's photo.
