About this Event

Celebrate Día de los Muertos in Vancouver with a hands-on cultural experience at Granville Island. Discover the beauty of papel picado, a traditional Mexican folk art where elaborate designs are cut into colorful tissue paper. These decorative banners are an essential part of festivals, especially Day of the Dead, symbolizing the fragility of life and the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.


In this interactive workshop, participants of all ages will:

  • Learn step-by-step how to create their own papel picado
  • Explore the cultural and historical significance of this folk art
  • Understand the meaning behind the colors and patterns

This workshop is designed for all ages and skill levels—families, children, youth, and adults. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with Mexican heritage while expressing creativity and celebrating culture at Granville Island.
