Hosted by Living Arts of Tulsa, in partnership with Casa de la Cultura, the festival will take place during the November First Friday Art Crawl from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of the Hispanic heritage honoring loved ones who have passed away.
Through the Día de los Muertos Arts Festival, Tulsans can honor their ancestors and loved ones who have passed, while experiencing the vibrant traditions that shape our region’s cultural landscape.
The festival will feature a procession and blessing of the altars, plus live performances (on two stages!), food trucks, a merchant vendor market and a kids zone.
