Not all Halloween fun has to take place at night. In order to get there before the kids crash from candy comas, it’s probably best to celebrate during the remaining daylight hours—like at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, where families can take part in traditional Mexican crafts such as tissue paper flowers, dance to live music, enjoy performances by Grupo Folklorico Los Mejicas, and get their faces painted by Mariposa’s Art. The Dia de los Muertos festivities will be followed by a procession to Evergreen Cemetery—a time to reflect and celebrate in whatever way you choose with loved ones, community members, food and music.
Info: 3 – 7 p.m., Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. 429-1964.
