Play on the Plaza with Palmetto Luna for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)

Saturday
November 2, 2019
10:00 am-1:00 pm

This special Play on the Plaza celebrates Day of the Dead, a Mexican tradition that honors those who have departed. Palmetto Luna hosts live music, traditional Mexican folk dances, arts and crafts, a Skeletons’ Promenade, and other cultural activities.

Come out and play on Boyd Plaza every Saturday with the CMA! Build and create with big blue blocks, perfect for guests of all ages and abilities. Try a design challenge or use your imagination to tap into your engineering ingenuity.

This project is supported by a grant from the Knight Foundation Fund and by a Connected Communities grant at Central Carolina Community Foundation.

Free.
