BIMA hosts Day of the Dead party

The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art will again host a Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.

Admission is free, and events include public remembrances and offerings, face painting, cut paper and tissue paper flower crafts and more.

Mexican hot chocolate and goodies are on the menu for a thrilling themed lunch, available while supplies last.

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The typically multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey.

BIMA guests are invited to bring a photo of a loved one for the ceremonial altar (4-inch-by-4-inch or smaller).
