Detroit launches into November with a lively mix of festivals, concerts, and local traditions that promise something for everyone. If you are in the city today, November 1, and looking for a unique cultural experience, head to Robert C. Valade Park on the riverfront for Detroit’s Día de los Muertos celebration running until 3 PM. The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy invites families for live music, authentic food, children’s crafts, Mexicanthemed performances, and a public ofrenda to honor loved ones, complete with folklorico dancing and community remembrance. Over at the Detroit Institute of Arts, you can catch the final days of the museum’s acclaimed Día de los Muertos exhibition with stunning ofrendas crafted by local artists—an inspiring and free tribute to Mexican heritage according to coverage by the Detroit Free Press.
