Dia de los muertos

On October 29th, 2022, Austin’s Mexic-Arte Museum put on Viva la Vida, the 39th annual Dia de los Muertos festival on Congress downtown. Beautiful works of art from the museum were on display throughout the festival, as well as street vendors, an ofrenda, and live music and dancing. The Tejano and Freestyle Showcase, presented by Austin Lowriding and Latin Freestyle Records, featured local artists such as Principe Q, Cholo Cumbia, Liz Garcia, South Train, and Ginger Rodriguez.
