Scottsdale Rodeo Museum is proud to be a part of Scottsdale’s third annual Dia De Los Muertos Festival. The day-long event will take place on Saturday, November 2 from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 p.m., and admission is free for all ages. Festive live music, bites, and sips will accentuate a cross-cultural experience for the whole family. Scottsdale Rodeo Museum offers an unmatched historical perspective, with preserved artifacts that give a glimpse into the lives of traditional cowboys, the history of Old Town Scottsdale, and the greater western frontier.

Dave Alford, General Manager of the Scottsdale Rodeo, emphasizes how crucial it is to keep Old Town Scottsdale’s roots alive. “Scottsdale is known as ‘The West’s Most Western Town,’ and we wouldn’t have that name if we didn’t keep these traditions going each year.”
