Register to build an Ofrenda* at the Branigan Cultural Center

* An ofrenda (Spanish: "offering") is the offering placed in a home altar during the annual and traditionally Mexican Día de los Muertos celebration.
Our ofrenda spaces are available for any individual, family, school, or organization in the community for our annual Día de los Muertos celebration. Each ofrenda space is a single rectangular table. If a larger space is desired (for example for a School, organization, or other community member) you may register for up to two spaces in total. It is suggested that schools register for two spaces, though not required.

Registration will close October 26 or earlier if all spaces are full before that date.
Set up will take place from Tuesday, October 28, to Friday, November 7, between 10am and 4pm.
All ofrendas will be in the gated courtyard for the Branigan Cultural Center located at 501 N. Main St.
The museum courtyard will remain locked when the museum is closed.
FINAL cut-off time for ofrenda set up is 4pm on Friday, November 7!
Ofrendas MUST be taken down on Saturday, November 8 by 4pm!
  • Ofrendas will be on display and kept within a locked gated area by the Branigan Cultural Center between October 28 and November 8.
  • Ofrendas will be taken down on Saturday, November 8 by 4pm with anything left after that time being disposed of unless prior arrangements have been made with us if you are unavailable on the 8th.
