Take advantage of this opportunity to make your own calacas (moving cardboard skeletons) and learn to make them dance, or take part in a parade through the Village to the sound of mariachis. At the Studio, participate in a cooking workshop and prepare a sugar skull like the ones placed on the family altar in Mexican homes. Organised in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico.Saturday, October 28 and Sunday, October 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
