City Of McKinney: Día De Los Muertos Celebration

See the latest announcement from the City of McKinney.

Día de los Muertos is a Latin American custom celebrating the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. It recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, beginning with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Día de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones.

Hosted by The Legacy Keepers of McKinney, the Día de los Muertos Celebration will include music, food, crafts, arts and education.
