Join us for Cultural First Friday! FREE general admission from 5 pm to 9 pm.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the magic of Dia de Muertos! We can’t wait to see you at Museo de las Americas for a night full of art, tradition, and community. We will have the following family-friendly activities:

Procession: Join us at 6 PM for a memorable procession in collaboration with the Arts District on Santa Fe, CHAC, and the Office of Council Woman Jamie Torres. The procession starts at Su Teatro and concludes at Museo de las Americas. Grupo Huitzilopochtli will lead the way, blessing key locations along Santa Fe Dr. The public is warmly invited to be part of this spiritual journey. There will be street closures so please plan for parking accordingly.

Catrina Contest: Please register to participate in this contest here. Our gallery will be the stage for the Catrina Contest at 8 PM. Bring your A-game and compete in either the Children’s Contest (Prize: 1st – $150) or the Adult Contest (Prizes: 1st – $350, 2nd – $250).

Folklorico Dance: The vibrant Folklorico Dance performance by Sangre de Mexico at 7 PM will leave you mesmerized.

Sugar Skull Decorating: Dive into the world of Dia de Muertos by decorating your very own sugar skull! Only $5 per skull, and members enjoy a fantastic BOGO deal. We start the fun at 5:30 PM in our classrooms.

Art Installations: Experience the creativity of Cal Duran’s Altar at our entrance and Vince Benavidez’s prints displayed in the Ancient Americas Gallery.
