Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Attend the Day of the Dead family event at the Penn Museum on Oct 24, 2026, from 1 to 4 pm, or check the events page for the next public event..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Events run a few hours, and several are described as family friendly. The Day of the Dead event has family crafts like flower making and an altar contest where attendees vote. Event prices are not listed on the events page, so check before you go.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the events page for each event's date, time and place, since some items are still listed as to be determined.
- The big events run for several hours, so plan for an afternoon.
- To volunteer, use the volunteer form; you must be 18 or older.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Events are public, the site describes some as free and family friendly, and volunteers apply through a form. The site describes no beginner or newcomer route..
