Georgetown’s first Dia De Los Muertos celebration brought to life the traditional Mexican holiday in November where families honor and remember their deceased loved ones. The City of Georgetown hosted the event along with the Downtown Georgetown Association, Central Texas Art Focus, GTX Connect, and Change, Hope, & Wellness.
Attendees enjoyed face painting, crafts, a performance by GISD Folklorico dancers, and food samples from Fuego Latino Gastropub. “It was amazing to see the community interacting with each other and for them to learn the history of Dia De Los Muertos,” says Sharon Parker, Georgetown’s senior special events and marketing coordinator. She added the city plans to make Dia De Los Muertos an annual event with even more activities next year.
