The festival, covered by KTEN, brought residents together to honor the rich heritage and colorful traditions of Día de los Muertos, the Mexican holiday that celebrates and remembers loved ones who have passed. Reaching its 15th year is a meaningful milestone, reflecting more than a decade of community commitment to cultural celebration and togetherness right here in Denison.

Events like this bring neighbors of all backgrounds shoulder to shoulder, sharing food, music, art, and the kind of community spirit that makes Denison a special place to call home.
