Bienvenidos, amigos!
Día de los Muertos in the Heights was launched with one goal in mind: to shine a light on a vibrant Latin American tradition that was often overlooked. From the beginning, our mission has been to offer the Greater Heights community a celebration that is both fun and deeply educational.
Día de los Muertos is one of the most colorful and meaningful traditions in Latin America. Staying true to that spirit, our festival features carefully curated performers who bring the sights, sounds, and energy of Latin America to life. We also partner with local elementary schools to create interactive exhibits, giving children and families an engaging way to learn about the history, culture, and significance of this beautiful tradition.
Best of all, 100% of the profits from the festival benefit the Montie Beach Park Improvement Initiative, a project led by the Montie Beach Civic Club in partnership with the Houston Parks Board.
If you’d like to be part of this year’s celebration, please reach out at diadelosmuertos@montiebeach.org.
On behalf of the Montie Beach Civic Club and our surrounding neighbors, we sincerely thank you for your generous support. Your contribution goes far beyond funding a festival—it directly impacts the lives of residents in our community.
Because of you, neighbors are able to experience the richness of Houston’s multicultural spirit through the traditions of the Latin American community. For some, this event provides a powerful way to reconnect with their heritage; for others, it creates opportunities to enhance and improve the urban park that serves as a gathering place year-round.
Your support ensures that Día de los Muertos in the Heights continues to thrive, celebrating culture while giving back to the community we all share.
