Día de los Muertos (Muertos Fest)

San Antonio’s Muertos Fest is one of the largest and most vibrant Día de los Muertos celebrations in the country. Held in late October or early November in Hemisfair, the festival features live music, art installations, community altars (ofrendas), face painting, food, and family activities — all rooted in the rich traditions of honoring the departed.
