SUMMARY:Día de los Muertos at the Mitchell Park Domes
DESCRIPTION:Milwaukee Domes Alliance is hosting its annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Celebration\non Friday\, October 30\, 2026\, from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Mitchell Park Domes.\n \nDía de los Muertos is a joyful celebration of life that takes place each November 1st and 2nd. The Aztecs\, also known as Mexicas\, developed the ritual some 3\,000 years ago because they believed one should not grieve the loss of a beloved ancestor who had passed. Instead\, the Mexicas celebrated their lives and welcomed their spirits back from their long journey through Mictlán once a year. Today\, the celebration blends ancestral Mexican and Spanish Catholic traditions\, reflected through vibrant colors\, joyous music\, traditional foods\, reflective prayer\, and using plants\, like Marigolds\, as sensory beacons to guide spirits to the land of the living. \n \n  \nIn honor of Día de los Muertos\, students from the surrounding community will be creating traditional ofrendas (offerings made in honor of loved ones) in the Desert Dome. The entire Desert Dome will be decorated in celebration of the holiday. \n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nIn addition\, the event will feature a mariachi band\, Día de los Muertos dancers\, local food and art vendors\, educational programming\, and hands-on art activities inspired by Día de los Muertos traditions. \n \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nTickets will not be available at the door\, and this event often sells out.

SUMMARY:THE MUSCLE CAR AND CORVETTE NATIONALS
DESCRIPTION:The Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals\, aka “Ma-Kak-N” is the ultimate gathering place for enthusiasts\, young and old\, who have a passion for horsepower. This indoor showcase covers nearly 400\,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space with the cars that have become a part of our lives\, It is a place to relive memories and revive friendships while opening the door to making many new memories and friendships. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n The Team\nUnlike other show promoters\, they live and breathe cars daily. The team is made up of fellow collectors who currently own and maintain a wide variety of collector cars ranging from AMC’s to Z/28’s. They have shown\, raced\, toured\, bought\, sold and traded many wheeled vehicles and they have all traveled many miles to participate in automotive events in and outside of the U.S.A. \n​\n \nMore Than Just Cars\n \nBy being involved in many shows over the years\, they have seen what works and what doesn’t work. First and foremost\, they know that it takes much more than a room full of cars to have a great show. They know that it is the people involved in the hobby that make it so enjoyable\, and they promote interaction with the car owners. Surely the sights and sounds are what opens the door\, but it is the shared enthusiasm we all have and the enjoyment we get by sharing the memories with those who love these four-wheeled wonders as much as we do. \n​Special Guests\n \n\nThis year they welcome drag race legends Buddy Martin of Sox & Martin fame\, Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick\, Butch “The California Flash” Leal\, Paul Rossi\, Herb McCandless and special guests Claudia Abel\, Miss Direct Connection\, 1984 and Chris Jacobs of Overhaulin’ and Mecum Auctions.  \n \n\nNot Just For Men\nMCACN has a wide variety of kid and family friendly activities. For the kids they offer their free model car “make and take”\, Hot Wheels racing\, a coloring contest and a fun scavenger hunt. And all kids 12 and under always get in free with an adult! They also host the Future Generation Invitational\, this year with more than 20 cars and trucks owned and maintained by owners from age 14-25. \n  \n\n  \n Make some new memories together at the beautiful Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont\, Illinois\, Saturday\, November 21\, and Sunday\, November 22. Check out over 600 cars that are joining from 40 states and Canada! \nCheck out the ALL NEW website for all the information and for Presale tickets. \n  \n
