Dia De Los Muertos San Antonio - Day of the Dead 2019 - Ring Light Photo Booth

Nov 3

We partnered with KSAT 12 - ABC San Antonio for San Antonio’s 1st Day of the Dead 2019 Festival! Thousands of visitors gathered at La Villita in San Antonio for fabulous food, amazing culture, and wonderful music celebrating and remembering loved ones.

The Mexican holiday, also known as Day of the Dead, extends over the first two days of November and has nothing to do with Halloween. It's an ode to the afterlife and a reminder that death is nothing to be afraid of.

Skulls were a powerful symbol in the Aztec culture, and some were used as tribute to Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of death. To celebrate the holiday, artisans spend hours turning sugar, hot water and lime into a sugar paste similar to caramel that they mold into skull-shaped treats of all sizes.
