Día de Muertos Festival Seattle

Día de Muertos Festival Seattle is a free Festál weekend in the Seattle Center Armory with performances, elaborate community altars, colorful face-painting, sugar skull workshops, and visual art. Seattle Center schedules October 31 through November 1, 2026.

Workshops and altars give kids a hands-on way into the tradition instead of only watching a stage. Indoor Armory space helps for Halloween-weekend weather.

Talk through the meaning of ofrendas with older kids before you go if that helps your family frame the day, then pick one workshop block so you are not racing the whole schedule.
