WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – The annual festivities paying tribute to our departed loved ones are returning to Waco this Saturday.

The community is invited to celebrate life at the Día de los Muertos Parade and Festival! These events also allow the public to reflect on the shared moments and the journeys of their own lives.

According to Creative Waco, this third annual event serves as a unifying force to bring together the area’s diverse communities. It also represents the city’s vibrant Hispanic culture.
