Día de los Muertos
The Day of the Dead has been long celebrated in Mexico and Latin American countries. It’s an occasion on which we celebrate and pay tribute to our departed friends and family. You can celebrate right here in San Antonio at the Día de los Muertos festival at Hemisfair. This free two-day event, held Oct. 23-24, brings together traditional art and culture with live music and entertainment. Live music, artwork, dance, live poetry, and one of the largest open-altar exhibitions you will ever witness are all part of the festivities. Get ready to pay respects and celebrate big at this nationally recognized festival.
