Día De Los Muertos: Tiny Grocer ABQ & Old Town Herbal

An ofrenda workshop, offered on three dates

Offertory Herbs for Your Ofrenda is scheduled for October 31, November 5 and November 7. Each session runs for an hour and costs $15. Participants create an herbal offering blend for an altar and a companion tea; the class description connects the tea with reflection and remembrance. The repeated date options let visitors choose among three separate sessions, not drop in at any time.

Two lectures offer a different kind of participation. On November 1, Intercede on My Behalf explores magical work with ancestors and the intercessory dead. On November 8, La Llorona, Weep for Me addresses the history and magic of the Weeping Woman. Both run from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and list a suggested sliding-scale contribution of $35.

November 4 moves from marigold to infused oils

The afternoon Cempasúchil (Marigold) Salve Making class, from 2 to 3 p.m., covers marigold and herbal oil infusions; participants make a salve to take home. It costs $15. That evening, Herbal Oils: Salves & Beyond runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m., focusing on methods for infusing herbal oils and using them in salves and other preparations.

The evening class has a $30–$70 sliding scale. That session-specific range differs from the event overview’s general summary of $15–$35 for classes and lectures, so use the individual class listing to check its checkout options.

Daily patio crafts, with food and music on selected dates

From October 31 through November 8, the patio program runs noon to 4 p.m. daily. Its listed activities include paper flower making, papel picado, Ojos de Dios and pumpkin painting. Most are free; pumpkins are available to purchase, but no price is listed.

October 31 has a distinct Halloween offering: candy, hot spiced cider and Frito Pie, with music by Cee Mo and Halloween festivities with DJ Finagle. The event listing does not give performance times. It also lists patio music on November 7 without naming a performer.

For November 8, a separate Old Town events listing gives Sunday brunch music with Felix Peralta, of Felix Y Los Gatos, an 11 a.m.–2 p.m. event window. The event-specific listing does not include that timing. A general Old Town directory describes tiny grocer ABQ as a micro-grocer, cafe and coffee shop with locally sourced provisions; that profile is not an event-day menu, and the specifically announced food for this program is the October 31 offering.

Plan around the separate clocks

The free guided herb walks are listed for November 1, November 2–4 and November 8, but no start times are given. The patio’s noon–4 p.m. hours should not be used to estimate when a walk begins. Classes and lectures have their own fixed slots, including sessions that overlap the patio program or begin after it ends.

One possible November 8 plan—not an organizer-issued itinerary—is to start with the 11 a.m.–2 p.m. music listing, choose whether to spend the overlapping midday hours on music or patio activities, then consider the 4:30–6 p.m. La Llorona lecture. The music listing provides an event window, not confirmation that Felix Peralta performs continuously throughout it. The listings place tiny grocer ABQ and Old Town Herbal at the same street address, but identify different suites: #6 for the grocer in the Old Town directory and #2 for Old Town Herbal on its class page.
