Día de los Muertos at Civic Center: Remembering Our Ancestors through Art

Civic Center Conservancy is pleased to partner with the Center on Colfax and Denver Public Library to present a program of free youth programming taking place inside the McNichols Building (located at the Northwest corner of Civic Center Park).

Storytime with the Denver Public Library: 12pm (Spanish), 2pm (Bilingual), 4pm (Bilingual)

• Join the Denver Public Library throughout the day for three Día de Muertos story times in English and Spanish. Afterward, head over to the Nook to pick a book from our free library to take home and sign up for a library card. 

Calavera Keychain Craft with the Center on Colfax: 12:30pm, 2:30pm, 4:30pm

• Join The Center on Colfax on decorating calavera (skull) keychains to evoke the tradition of decorating sugar skulls. Sugar skulls represent the sweetness of life. They are a way to remember and celebrate the loved ones who have already passed.

All activities are set in the first floor gallery of the McNichols Building, currently hosting the Woven Memories: Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead exhibition.

These workshops are part of the larger Día de los Muertos at Civic Center celebration, free and open to the public.
