Classic, custom, lowrider and culturally themed cars line up for awards (Best in Show, Best Classic, Best Modern), and many owners decorate their trunks as traditional altars. For children there are culturally themed crafts and entertainment, the lowrider bike club's display, and a community ofrenda that visitors can view and add to. Día de los Muertos-themed movies screen at 12:15 pm and 2:00 pm in the museum's indoor Drive-In area, with floor and chair seating, which gives younger kids a warm break. Much of the event is outdoors, so dress for the weather. Car owners register their vehicles for free in advance (spots are limited); spectators just come. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [Penguin March at the Kansas City Zoo](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/penguin-march-at-the-kansas-city-zoo--listing-275303747c406c8ce20cfea8) — Sat, Oct 31 (+1 more date) · 11:00 AM – 11:15 AM · Helzberg Penguin Plaza, Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium · With admission · checked Oct 16.
