About
MECA's Día de Muertos Festival is a FREE community celebration of Latin American folk art traditions that honor family and ancestry. Día de Muertos combines pre-Colombian heritage with Catholic influence, creating a vibrant and joyful tribute to the departed. This year's Día de Muertos two-day celebration will offer children's art activities, an ofrendas/altar exhibition, artist and artisan vendors, delectable festival foods, and three captivating performance stages. MECA's event has flourished into a month long event of festivities. It features altar exhibitions, community workshops, and a two day festival. MECA's 2025 Día de Muertos will be held at MECA's colorful, art-filled campus located at the nationally recognized Historic Dow School in the heart of Houston's Old Sixth Ward. We hope you will join us for this vital community-wide cultural celebration in person & online.
