Plaza de la Raza is the cultural center set on the lake in Lincoln Park, and for one night it turns over to a Día de Muertos night of art and music that runs past midnight. The organizer bills it around four things — art, music, culture and community — and the art is the spine of it rather than decoration for a party. It also lands weeks before the November holiday, so it is the start of the season rather than one more crowded Day of the Dead weekend.
What to expect
A night across the Plaza de la Raza grounds built around art, live music and Día de Muertos culture, per the organizer's own billing. It is listed 21 and over, starts at 7 p.m. and runs to 1 a.m., so the back half of it is a late one.
