Students from the surrounding community build traditional ofrendas (offerings honoring loved ones) and the entire Desert Dome is decorated for the holiday. The night includes a mariachi band, Día de los Muertos dancers, hands-on art activities inspired by the tradition, educational programming, bilingual storytimes, light shows and local food and art vendors (food and drink for purchase). Admission covers entry to the Domes and greenhouse. A good evening for families who want children to learn about the celebration through crafts and performance. Tickets are sold online only, not at the door, and the event often sells out. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [Celebrando El Día de los Muertos — Lantern Walk to the Domes](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/celebrando-el-dia-de-los-muertos-lantern-walk-to-the-domes--listing-aa4df9e354d08647472fa939) — Fri, Oct 30 · 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Urban Ecology Center – Menomonee Valley · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
