Celebrate The Day of the Dead at Spark Imagination and Science Center on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 10 am to 1 pm. Join us for crafts and a special exhibit while you remember your ancestors on this special day.
Learn about the Mexican holiday, the Day of the Dead, as you decorate a sugar skull, make a paper flower, add to Spark’s papel picado, and so much more. Visitors will also have the opportunity to honor their ancestors and see an exhibit of Oaxacan wood carvings.
Admission is $5 per person. Members of Spark receive free admission. Children will receive one sugar skull to decorate. Adults can pay an additional $2 to decorate a sugar skull.
“We are so excited for our Day of the Dead event at Spark! The holiday is a wonderful way to remember our friends and family and to celebrate their lives,” says Julie Bryan, Executive Director of Spark! Imagination and Science Center.
Families will also have the opportunity to explore the exhibits at Spark! Imagination and Science Center. In Spark’s hands-on exhibits, visitors can dig for pretend dinosaur fossils, build a ball ramp, explore nanoscience, play dress up, and much more.
This event was funded through a grant made possible through a collaborative effort between YCF and Arts Mon, with funding from the City of Morgantown, the Monongalia County Commission and the Douglas H. Tanner Memorial Fund for the Arts.
