Día de los Muertos

Waterloo Greenway is bringing Día de los Muertos to the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park on Sunday, November 1, from 4 PM to 8 PM. It's a free community celebration, and the whole afternoon is built around the tradition of remembering those who've passed.

The centerpieces are the community altars: a main ofrenda and a separate pet altar. Both stay on display through November 2, so you can stop by again the next day if you want to spend more time there. Around them, the park fills up with traditional dance, ballet folklorico and mariachi performances, face painting, local food and drinks, and an artisan market presented by Future Front Texas. It's a mix of things to watch and things to walk through, so you can move between the music and the altars at your own pace.

Waterloo Greenway describes it as a space for remembrance and reflection, and it fits into their 2026 fall programming, which brings free wellness classes, cultural celebrations, public art and community gatherings to the park and the surrounding greenway. The event is supported by H-E-B, Austin Subaru, Liquid Death, Siete Foods, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Delta Air Lines and Estrella Jalisco.

It's free to attend, and since it runs from 4 PM to 8 PM, you can drop in for an hour or hang out for the whole evening. The altars stay up through November 2, so if you miss the performances on Sunday, you can still come by the next day to see them.
