El Museo del Barrio held its special Super Sábado, also on October 27th, as they celebrated Mexico's beloved 3,000 year-old tradition that commemorates friends and relatives who have passed away.

El Museo's Día de Los Muertos Celebration featured myriad events for the entire familia! A vivid and vivacious procession led by Danza Group Calpulli Tletl-Papalotzin paraded through Central Park ending at El Museo's doorstep where children (and some parents) got their faces painted like calaveras, or sugar skull. The festivities culminated in a rousing mariachi performance by the Mariachi Academy of New York and Mariachi Flor de Toloache.
El Museo del Barrio's strives to celebrate the diversity of Latino, Latin American, and Caribbean cultures, has been bringing el Día de Los Muertos to El Barrio for more than a decade.
