Tiny Altars, Big Meaning
Discover the power of remembrance through miniature art.
In this creative, hands-on workshop, participants will design and build their own Matchbox Ofrendas—small, personal altars inspired by the traditions of Día de los Muertos. Using matchboxes as your canvas, you’ll honor a loved one, memory, or idea with symbolic decorations, miniature offerings, and heartfelt creativity. One ofrenda per family.
Pre-registration required. All participants, children and adults, must register for the program. Children must be accompanied by a paid registered adult.
