You can also create your own ofrenda (altar) behind the Museum in Harrison Park, where the soccer field will be grounds for a festive party honoring those who have passed. (Registration required.)
This year marks the Museum's 29th annual Día de los Muertos celebration, so we'll round out the evening with Pan de Muerto (Day of the Dead Bread), altar demonstrations, live performances, face painting, and art activities.
Visit www.ChicagoDayoftheDead.org to sign up to create an ofrenda, or to submit a photo for our giant illuminated ofrenda.
