| Grab your little ghosts and join us for the Bay Area's favorite Halloween celebration this weekend! Tons of spooky - but not scary - fun for all at the Goblin Jamboree. Don't forget to send in your pics for our Say Woof photo contest by October 26, and there are lots more opportunities to meet Clifford in person. Rock out to our Hip Kid's Music series, celebrate Dia de los Muertos, and read on for some Autumn Play ideas that will get your family out stomping in the leaves and puddles. | |||||

| Dia de los Muertos | |
|
The Day of the Dead is a festive holiday to honor the people who have passed on in our lives. Through November 3 in Studio 10, please bring in a photo or memento of someone in your life that you would like to honor on our community altar (ofrenda). Or just stop on in and add a marigold or skull, and talk with Discovery Guides about the meanings behind the holiday.
Dia de los Muertos Creative Exploration Workshop Come explore the Day of the Dead through an interactive story about the Calaveras (Skulls) of the holiday and create your own colorful persona. Does your skull wear a hat, dance around or parade through the museum?
