Festival of the Dead – Ilford
On Friday 30 October, you are invited to join us at Redbridge Central Library for the second day of our annual Festival of the Dead.
Everyone (big and small) is invited to come dressed up in brightly coloured clothes or their favourite Day of the Dead inspired costumes to join in with the celebrations and take part in the lantern parade. Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed!
With live acts, storytelling, author events and crafts, we have lots of activities planned – see the event listings below to find out what’s in store.
Please note that all times are approximate and could change on the day.

Some workshops and activities are available to book in advance with remaining spaces available to purchase on a first come, first served basis on the day. All other activities are drop in. Please check the information for each activity carefully. During busier periods, we will limit how many people can come in. This is for the safety and enjoyment of everyone.
All craft activities will finish at 4.30pm.
The Wanstead Procession and Ilford Procession will leave their respective library at approximately 5pm. If weather conditions are bad, we may have to cancel the parades at short notice.
Please note: the Parade includes LED and Strobing Elements that may not be suitable for audiences with light sensitivity.
This project is supported with public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
