Día de los Muertos at the Mitchell Park Domes

Día de los Muertos at the Mitchell Park Domes is an evening celebration inside Milwaukee’s glass conservatories, with student ofrendas, mariachi, dancers, food and art vendors, and hands-on activities. Proceeds support Domes Alliance programs that keep the Domes open as a community gathering place. The setting under the tropical and arid Domes makes the ofrenda displays feel immersive rather than outdoor-street festival style. Plan for evening parking near Mitchell Park and give yourself time to walk all three Domes.

Our take: Start in the Show Dome if crowds gather at the entrance so you catch student ofrendas before the densest walk-through.
