GraveYards at The Yards Park

The Yards will host its first-ever Day of the Dead festival, GraveYards. This free to attend event will transform the park into a graveyard complete with traditional day of the dead elements, street performers and a beer garden. Magicians, escape artists, balloon artists, stilt walkers, contortionists, fire artists and fortune-tellers will be wandering throughout the Yards entertaining attendees. Additionally, face/body painters specializing in skulls, masks and other authentic Day of the Dead designs will be on-site to help guests get into the spirit of the day. In addition to the days' activities, a mariachi band will provide authentic Mexican celebratory music and popular hard-rock folk band Kingsley Flood will perform.
