Join us for a Craft Workshop, Touch Tour and live Audio-Described Parade, led by Itzatna Arts and VocalEyes. This experience is designed for blind and visually impaired festival-goers, as well as anyone who would benefit from additional sensory access.
The annual illuminated Redbridge Festival of the Dead parade is inspired by Mexico's El Día de Muertos and features giant puppets created by The Lantern Company. Enjoy live music from UDM Samba and Las Adelitas Mariachi Band, alongside Day of the Dead stilt walkers and This is Mexico! dancers. A Braille character guide will be available.
