The theater's annual Día de los Muertos block party celebration is a popular community event that features decorated altars, carnival rides and live music. 

This year's event is headlined by three top music acts: singer Angel Peaches with the Combi Darks band, duo Ampersan from Mexico City, and singer Margarita Luna de Guadalajara. 

Entertainment on the outdoor stage also includes performances by Mariachi Calilajara; Aztec dance troupe Huitzilopochtli; ballet folklórico Sol de Fuego; the “Catrina Guapachosa” on stilts (Ismael Ramirez); and more.

Guests can enjoy homemade tamales, craft booths, and a graveyard where families can make their own altars for departed loved ones, plus a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round.

The evening kicks off at 5:45 p.m. with a procession led by ceremonial dancers Comparsa de Chinelos Amigos de Morelos. Costumes welcome!

The event is held on Hoover Street between 23rd and 25th Streets; the procession to the event begins at Magnolia and Adams.
