A local museum is celebrating a holiday all about honoring and remembering your ancestors. 

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday Micaela Harris, Director of Communications for the McLean County Museum of History told Regional Radio they are celebrating La Día De Los Muertos this Friday, and this will be their biggest celebration yet. 

 

 

La Día De Los Muertos is a Hispanic holiday devoted to honoring ancestors and loved ones who have passed. According to Harris, it's celebrated by creating "ofrendas" or offerings with photos to keep their memory alive. 

 

 

Harris notes there is an assortment of community groups coming in to help with the event, from Hispanic student communities to arts groups.
