Spiritlandia Day of the Dead 2022 | A Celebration to Remember

Spiritlandia Day of the Dead 2022 | A Celebration to Remember

at La Villita Historic Arts Village

Come to the La Villita Historic Village during Spiritlandia for free family fun. La Villita’s ancient streets are open every day of course; however, on Saturday and Sunday October 28 and 29 from noon to 5 p.m., the village will come alive with music, food, and free family fun honoring Day of the Dead traditions. Kids will enjoy having their faces painted during a free face-painting workshop. Get free altar kits to take home to make your own traditional Day of the Dead altar or ofrenda, too. Exciting artwork will be on display each day, like the Toyota Calavera Exhibit (giant painted skulls!), enormous colorful spirit animals (called Alebrijes) made by local artists, and even Student Calavera Art Wall or “Tzompantli” created by high-school-age artists. A grand community altar and remembrance wall at La Villita allows visitors to contribute photographs and memories of loved ones, and of course the elaborate Grand Altar will be beautiful to behold. Best of all, good eats abound in Culinary Village, featuring food and beverage options from favorite local vendors.
