Looking Back On

the 2025 Festival

at Hidalgo Park

This year's Día de los Muertos Festival was one to remember!

While many of our long-time members continued their invaluable roles on the Planning Committee, this marked the first year that East End Communities proudly stepped into the role of Committee Chairs and lead organizers.

Although our original event date was unfortunately rained out, our incredible community rallied together, and just two weeks later we were able to bring the festival to life!

Hundreds of you joined us to celebrate with delicious food, vibrant cultural performances, and amazing local vendors.

Families enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the day, including a community book drive, arts and crafts station, and fun outdoor games and activities for all ages.

Taking on the leadership of this beloved event came with new challenges, but the overwhelming support from our community made it all worthwhile.

We are incredibly excited to build on this year's success and make next year's festival even more memorable.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers,

planning committee members, vendors, performers,

and community partners who made this

celebration possible.

Your generosity and support helped create a meaningful

day of culture, remembrance, and community, and

we can't wait to celebrate with you again next year!
