The Art District on Santa Fe’s First Friday Art Walk is always a huge, festive affair, but on Friday night, the district will host a massive Dia de los Muertos block party with events at multiple museums and businesses. Stop by the Museo de las Americas for a costume contest, ofrendas (altars), sugar skulls, hot chocolate, pan de muerto (bread traditionally baked during Dia de los Muertos), face-painting and performances. Visitors can shop at a marketplace filled with local artisans, hear live music and check out “Altar’d Continuum: Resistance and Empowerment,” the show currently on display at Museu de las Americas.
