Day of the Dead Parade
Event Details
Join us for a vibrant Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) Parade on October at 31st at 4 PM! This celebration will honor Mexican heritage and kick off and will be one of the biggest and most exciting events in Hattiesburg!
Experience a procession filled with:
- Authentic Mexican costumes
- Towering mojigangas (giant puppets)
- A lively mariachi band
The parade starts at the Rebekah Stark Johnson Community Arts Center (825 Main St) and will travel up Main Street to The Creators Plaza (100 W 4th St).
The fun doesn't stop there! After the parade, the mariachis will continue to play at The Creators Plaza and we will be providing authentic Mexican treats and drinks!
Nuestro Arte will be hosting a Day of the Dead Skull Auction and will have an authentic Mexican altar. We invite you to bring items like food, photos, or other offerings to place on the altar in memory of your loved ones. Please do not bring any items you wish to have returned.
FREE WORKSHOPS!
In addition to the parade we will be hosting two free workshops to help you get ready for the parade.

- 10/17 @ 10am - Day of the Dead Mask Workshop
Come celebrate with us and honor the spirit of creativity and community!
This parade was made possible due to a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission and generous sponsorships from Forrest County, Community Bank, The Edmonson Family, The Rifkin Family, and Visit Hattiesburg.
