Casa de Rosado Galeria and Cultural Center, mid-Michigan’s only arts-focused Hispanic center, will celebrate Día de los Muertos, a traditional Mexican holiday honoring loved ones who have passed away, Friday (Nov. 1) through Sunday (Nov. 3) at the Michigan History Center.
The three-day event will feature the opportunity to view community-made ofrendas, or elaborate memorials to the deceased, which will be lit 6 p.m. Friday. Attendees are welcome to add their own photos or notes to deceased loved ones. There will also be an art display by local Hispanic artists depicting calaveras, or intricately decorated sugar skulls.
Saturday will offer a few special events, including a sugar skull decorating contest from 10:30 a.m. until supplies run out, a sugar skull costume contest at 2 p.m. and a special Día de los Muertos-themed performance by Maria Luz Ballet Folklórico at 3 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (517) 402-0282 or visit facebook.com/casaderosado.
