Day of the Dead Celebration: Central Park Meet-up and Museum Visit

Description:
We will meet up first at Central Park, in the East Meadow (use entrance to the park btw 97th and 98th Street on 5th Avenue) at 11:30am for some introductions, coffee/tea, and nice conversation. This meet-up is weather permitting. We will send out an email in the days prior if we need to forgo meeting in Central Park prior to going to the museum. Feel free to BYOB, bring something to sit on, and maybe even a snack. We should be right on the East Meadow as you enter the park. If you can’t find us, you can shoot us a text upon entering the park. At 12:20pm, we will walk up through the park to the museum.

If you can’t meet us at the park, you can still join us at the museum at 12:30pm. We will meet across the street from the museum at the entrance to the Conservatory Garden at the Vanderbilt Gate (closer to 105th street on 5th Ave) at 12:30pm. It is a very large metal gate, you can’t miss it. Someone will wait there until 12:45pm. If you are running late, we will meet you at the museum across the street. You can call or text us if you are running late, so we can meet up with you at the museum.

The Day of the Dead celebration is a family friendly event with their current exhibition open to the public during this celebration (see details about this event here: https://www.elmuseo.org/event/super-sabado-dia-de-los-muertos-celebration-free/). There is sometimes an altar where you may be able to leave photos or other items to remember your loved one that has passed. Please note you will not get these items back so do not bring any original photos/items. The museum is pay-as-you wish (or free) and activities for kids are free.

 

RSVP:

Please RSVP by Nov. 1 and let us know if you will join us for both or just one location. Let us know if you are bringing your kids as well. If you are already on our email list and have received this event via email directly from us, please RSVP by replying directly to that email. 

If you are joining us at the museum, please ALSO RSVP through the museum’s link below even if you are not 100% sure you will attend, so that the museum can track visitors numbers.

Please be sure to RSVP to BOTH to us and to the museum’s link if you are joining us for the museum portion of the meet-up. We will provide you with one of our cell phone numbers once you RSVP to us, just in case you can’t find us at the park or at the museum.

 

As indicated above, we will send out an email reminder a couple of days prior to all of you who RSVP and indicate if we need to cancel the park meet-up. If the park meet-up is canceled, we will just meet at the museum at 12:30pm (see instructions above for where to meet for the museum visit).
