Festival of the Dead – Costume Competition Ilford

A Day of the Dead costume competition at Redbridge Central Library where adults and children dress in brightly coloured outfits, with prizes for both.

As part of the Festival of the Dead programme, adults and children are encouraged to wear brightly coloured clothes inspired by the Day of the Dead. Organisers will be looking out for favourite Calacas (skeletons), La Catrinas, Frida Kahlos and party frocks and suits, with prizes awarded for both adults and children. The project is supported with public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
