Join us on October 24th, 2026 for our 9th annual celebration of life, those who have departed, and the traditions that help keep their legacy alive - all taking place in the heart of El Paso’s Downtown Arts District!
Every year, Día de los Muertos Desfile & Festival brings a whole day of fun for the family, including free arts and cultural activities, altars and exhibits, local vendors, performances, and much more.
The parade, proudly presented by @mygecu , proceeds through Downtown and features 60 entries of floats, performers, and local organizations.
