Museum of the Moving Image hosts a Day of the Dead Celebration featuring live music, dance, and film for families. The Museum’s Kaufman Courtyard resounds with free performances by Mariachi Nuevo Amanecer Academy, followed by a presentation of Aztec Mexica dance, poetry, and music from indigenous dance troupe Yayauhki Tezcatlipoka.

The event also features face-painting inspired by historical characters from Día de Muertos, and a catrina and catrin contest hosted by artist and historian Rosa Ruíz and Catrinamía. 

Following the performances, attendees are encouraged to stay for a 6:30pm screening of Pixar's animated musical, Coco.
