The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center presents the 18th annual celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and MexAmeriCon. This beloved tradition brings family and community together to celebrate the lives of our ancestors, family, friends, and public figures.
The event is Saturday, November 1st from 2:00-6:00pm at the Pan American Recreation Center in East Austin.
We will welcome the memories of our loved ones with Day of the Dead altars, art installations, & activities that foster an appreciation for the sweetness and fragility of life. Discover the MACC’s large-scale interactive sculptures by Las Piñatas ATX. The collective outdoor ofrenda (altar) will be a gathering of memories that anyone can contribute to. You may bring notes or write one on-site to add to the altar.
