About the Day of the Dead Ofrendas Exhibit

The 2025 Día de los Muertos celebration will deepen our community’s understanding of this rich cultural tradition. Partnering with local schools, artists, community groups, and the Mexican Consulate in Milwaukee, we will showcase authentic Ofrendas—traditional altars honoring loved ones who remain forever in our hearts. The event highlights regional Mexican customs and explores the fusion of Aztec and Spanish influences that shaped the tradition. Programming will also examine how Día de los Muertos reflects evolving folk art and cultural heritage, including celebrations beyond Mexico, such as Guatemala’s Mayan-influenced observances.
