Little Angels is a family-friendly event acknowledging and celebrating deceased loved ones from the perspective of the child. Children participate in art activities such as wing-making and decorating, face painting, sugar skull decorating, story telling, and theater.Angels on stilts lead the children on a procession around the Downtown public square to the finale stage area, where artists present a live performance-spectacle.
The public is invited to bring photos and drawings of their children’s deceased loved ones: pets, family and friends. We will scan them on
site and project them large on the library wall. Bring a candle in a container to illuminate the children’s procession as the sun sets. Following the Little Angels Finale, the Spoken Word Soul Poetry begins.
