University of Illinois Assistant Professor Dr. Emma Velez will share the magic of indigenous stories and lead attendees in making their own cempasúchil (pronounced sem-pa-soo-cheel), a paper marigold commonly displayed on the ofrenda (offering) during Día de los Muertos.
$6/person (5 & under free). Tickets and more info here. All sales are final.
Participants should bring their own lawn chairs.
