KEY COURTYARD | FAMILY FESTIVAL
Join us for a heartfelt celebration of life as we honor beloved family, friends, and pets who are no longer with us. Together we’ll remember the joy they brought through music, dance, and traditional foods. Guests are invited to bring a photo for our community ofrendas (memorial altars). Enjoy vibrant performances by Mariachi Anacatlán, Relámpago del Cielo, Los Cuates, Xipe Totec, and Joel Aceves.
Celebrate with Bowers Museum during our free family festivals held every first Sunday of the month in the Museum’s beautiful Key Courtyard. Enjoy live performances, art making, face painting and complimentary treats at every festival.
