Dia de los Muertos Celebration

Guadalupe Centers’ Dia de los Muertos Celebration is the original Day of the Dead event in KCMO! This event originated as a way of sharing the traditions and cultural significance of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos.

This celebration allows us to share the history of this colorful holiday while allowing guests to experience a traditional altar (which remembers loved ones that have passed on), kids activities, live entertainment, ceremonial dancers, face painting, vendors, food trucks, and much more!

This event is rain or shine. It will be moved indoors if needed.
