Join us in celebrating Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) with a special screening of Coco for guests of all ages! Celebrated annually on November 1 and 2, Día de Muertos is dedicated to the joyful remembrance of deceased loved ones.
In Disney/Pixar’s 2017 film Coco, 12-year-old Miguel dreams of becoming a musician despite his family’s ban on music, and his pursuit of this passion leads him to a series of powerful discoveries. The film explores themes of family, connection, self-discovery, love, and loss while celebrating Mexican culture and beloved traditions like Día de Muertos. Popcorn and other refreshments will be provided. Feel free to bring a blanket or pillow and get cozy as you join Miguel on his fantastical journey to the Land of the Dead!
This film is rated PG and has a runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
