El Año de la Monarca - The Year of the Monarch

Last year's Dia de los Muertos Parade and Festival was a breathtaking display of culture, creativity, and community spirit. We're incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, attended, and sponsored this unforgettable event. Your support made it possible for us to celebrate our cultural heritage and honor our loved ones.

Last year's parade featured over 50 local businesses and organizations, showcasing a stunning array of colors and energy. The festival offered something for everyone, with local vendors, family-friendly activities, and captivating live performances by Grupo Ziztema, Zamora County Line, Johnny Joe Ramos and the Band, DJ Térkò, Zamora County Line, Migzavier, Tierra Mestiza, and Sagrado Corazon Ballet Folklorico.

Mark your calendars, Día de los Muertos Waco 2025 will be November 1, 2025!
