Día de los Muertos

Celebrate Día de los Muertos with live music, dance, community altars, face painting, and an artisan market.

Join Waterloo Greenway for Día de los Muertos, a vibrant community celebration honoring the lives and memories of those who have passed. Experience an evening filled with art, music, dance, and cultural traditions as Waterloo Park transforms into a space for remembrance and reflection. Guests are invited to explore beautifully designed community altars, including a main ofrenda where visitors may contribute photos and mementos in honor of their loved ones, as well as a special pet altar celebrating cherished animal companions. Throughout the evening, enjoy performances by Danza Azteca, Ballet Folklórico, Mariachi, and additional live music celebrating the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos. Families can enjoy hands-on activities, including face painting presented by Central Texas Face Painting, while shopping the artisan market presented by Future Front Texas, featuring local artists and small businesses. A variety of local food and beverage vendors will be on-site offering festive favorites throughout the evening. The community altars will remain on display through Monday, November 2, inviting visitors to continue reflecting and honoring loved ones. Guests are also invited to return that evening for a special Día de los Muertos edition of Waterloo Wellness: Yoga & Sound, presented in partnership with Castle Hill Fitness, offering a peaceful opportunity for movement and mindfulness among the altars. This program is presented at no cost thanks to the generosity of our community-minded sponsors !
