Artist Marta Sanchez brings the Mexican tradition of Cascarones to the community! In San Antonio, Texas, cascarones are decorative confetti filled eggs that are used during festive times and celebrations. Participants will decorate eggshells filled with confetti with paint, markers, and glitter to create their own cascarones. Bring them home and enjoy the fun tradition of cracking the eggs over others' heads, a tradition that believes that as the confetti spills out from the eggshells, the cascarones will bring good luck.

For adults, registration is required. Please visit Eventbrite to register.
