The Arts Council of Big Sky is proud to host the 2nd Annual Día de Muertos Celebration on Sunday, October 26, 2025, as part of the Haunted Peaks Fall Festival. This vibrant community event will take place at the Big Sky Center for the Arts (77 Lone Peak Drive) and is designed to honor and create space for the rich traditions and customs of our diverse community.
Rooted in centuries of tradition, Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time to honor and remember loved ones who have passed. The celebration invites the Big Sky community to come together in reflection, creativity, and joy through music, art, and shared cultural expression.
Location: Big Sky Center for the Arts, 77 Lone Peak Drive
Schedule:
A large tiered community altar will be built in the Center for the Arts, where guests are encouraged to bring photos, favorite foods, and flowers of their loved ones to place as ofrendas (offerings). Traditional foods, children’s crafts, and cultural displays will be available throughout the day, offering opportunities to learn more about Día de Muertos customs and symbolism.
The celebration will feature live mariachi music, performances, and artistic presentations honoring this meaningful holiday through sound, color, and community spirit.
The Día de Muertos celebration continues into the week with artist-in-residence programs in local schools:
These programs will introduce students to the cultural and artistic traditions of Día de Muertos through storytelling, music, and hands-on art activities.
This event is supported in part by a grant from the Montana Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from the Town Center Organization, Big Sky Community Center, and the Spanish Peaks Community Foundation.
Join us in celebrating life, memory, and community at Big Sky’s Día de Muertos.
