For Day of the Dead

The Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, will be celebrated on Saturday at La Fondita in Amagansett, where kids can decorate paper skulls, play games, and enjoy some traditional Mexican treats from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The rain date is Sunday.

Rain or shine, the restaurant will be serving up specialties like pork and chicken tamales, chicken in red mole, churros with chocolate, and a warm pineapple drink all weekend. The Day of the Dead program, offered with the Golden Eagle art store, costs $10 and will benefit a local family. Reservations can be made by calling the Golden Eagle in East Hampton at 324-0603.
