El Día de los Muertos at National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution · Washington · Free · ★ 4.8 (13669)

Mariachi Imperio and a Modelo beer garden meet sugar-skull crafts at this Fiesta DC collaboration honoring Día de los Muertos.

Runs 5–8:30pm with live sets from La Unica, Sol y Rumba, and Mariachi Imperio, sugar skull decorating, a Modelo beer garden, and a community light procession; free to attend, but the listed venue conflicts with the Wharf-focused description, so confirm location before heading out.
