Day of the Dead 2025

Day of the Dead is back at the Illinois State Museum! Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, honors loved ones who have passed away and celebrates their lives. This Latine holiday honors those who came before us and our connection with them. ISM is partnering with our friends the Hispanic Women of Springfield, the University of Illinois Springfield Diversity Center, and other guests to bring you a full day of celebration, community, and culture. Join us for dancing, games, activities, and delicious refreshments that highlight Hispanic Heritage. This event is free, and all are welcome to attend.
