MECA’s Annual Dia De Muertos Festival: Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Future

In its 22nd year, MECA’s Día de Muertos is a FREE community celebration of Latin American folk art traditions that commemorate family and ancestry. Día de los Muertos is a culmination of pre-Colombian heritage and Catholic influence honoring the souls of the dead in a lively, cheerful celebration. Over the years, MECA’s Día de Muertos celebration has flourished into a two-day festival boasting a variety of traditional foods, folk and fine arts, and three performance stages.

This year’s festival will include special performances by MECA Ballet Folklorico, children’s art activities, cultural cuisine, an ofrendas/altar exhibit, artist and artisan vendors, festival delights, and many more musical and dance performances by artists who will soon be announced.
