On Courthouse Square, just beneath the Museum, there will be music, traditional food and a processional (beginning at 7 p.m.).
Within the Museum will be kid’s crafts and a Festival of Altars. The altars traditionally salute family members who have passed and include some simple and some elaborate creations. They are often full of objects giving life to dead adult relatives, including food and drink. Altars dedicated to dead children include toys, candies and other goodies.
