Please join us for our annual Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday that honors departed family, friends, and ancestors. Eunice Loredo will do a presentation on this tradition, its origins, and how it is celebrated in Mexico.

Students will also have an opportunity to try their hand at making traditional decorations, papel picado, paper skull masks, tissue paper flowers, and clay skulls. They may also explore the Hudson Museum’s PreColumbian collections.

This event is geared for Middle and High School students and Spanish classes.

Space is limited and reservations are required. For more information or to make a reservation, please call 581-1904 or email gretchen.faulkner@maine.edu.
