Over 25 individual altars created by community members will grace our space. These altars are dedicated to community members who were born and raised in the Westside or who had a major impact in the Westside, San Antonio and the U.S.
We also invite Westsiders and all of San Antonio to help us build a large community altar at the corner of Guadalupe & S. Colorado streets to honor community members and others we hold dear in our memories. Bring flowers, candles, and scanned photos of those you want to remember.
Guests can also stop by MujerArtes’ beautiful compressed earth block studio, located at the Rinconcito de Esperanza, to meet the artists and purchase work inspired by Día de Muertos. Over a hundred handmade works, including Day of the Dead themed calacas, skulls, calaveras, earrings, necklaces and más will be on sale.
Our live performances will commence at 5PM and we will be holding a procession beginning at 6PM.
