Day of the Dead Gala

Welcome to the Day of the Dead Gala!

Come join us for a night of celebration and remembrance at the Sky Lounge , 73 York Street in the ByWard Market in Ottawa. Get ready to enjoy delicious food, vibrant decorations, and lively music in honor of this traditional Mexican holiday. Don't forget to dress up in your best Day of the Dead inspired attire! It's going to be a night to remember, so mark your calendars and get ready to have a blast with us!

Info: At the Day of the Dead Gala, guests are invited to take part in a hands-on cultural experience by creating their own nicho—a traditional Mexican shadow-box altar that honors loved ones who have passed away. With vibrant materials, miniature decorations, and symbolic imagery, each participant can design a personalized tribute that reflects the beauty and spirit of Día de los Muertos. This interactive activity offers a meaningful way to connect with the traditions of remembrance while adding a unique keepsake to take home from the celebration.

Info: Join us for a spirited twist on a classic game! Our Day of the Dead Bingo celebrates tradition with colourful cards featuring vibrant calaveras, marigolds, sugar skulls, and cultural icons. Guests will mark their cards as images are called, competing for fun prizes while enjoying the festive atmosphere. It’s an engaging way to honour the season, share laughter, and connect with friends during the Gala. Everyone is welcome to play—bring your luck and your best celebratory spirit!
