A Mexican festival will be taking place in Bournemouth town centre.
The Day of the Dead celebration will take over The Avenue in Commercial Road on Saturday, October 28.
The free and family-friendly day will feature Mexican food, face painting, short film screenings, dancing, and art exhibitions.
There will also be arts and crafts workshops, including skeleton mask making and coffin decorating, and a Day of the Dead Barbie doll interactive exhibition.
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care will be present on the day with a care information stand.
At 1pm, there will be a Colores Mexicanos performance followed by the premiere of the short film Crisálida.
The event has been organised by BCP Council, Bobby's, Colores Mexicanos, University of Southampton, and World of Love.
It will take place on the first floor of The Avenue between 10am and 4pm, with the day kicking off with skeleton face painting.
The floor, which was previously home to Sports Direct, has recently been taken over by the South Coast Makers Market.
The change has resulted in a haul of exciting events being lined up for the venue.
Day of the Dead is the first of the planned events, however, event tickets have now sold out.
