This Saturday, November 2nd, the McKinney Farmers Market will be celebrating Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead) 🌺💀❤️. Join us as we honor the memory of loved ones who have passed by shopping for all their favorite things. According to tradition, it’s believed that on this special day, the spirits return to the world of the living to spend time with their families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

The celebration is filled with joy and love, as families honor the departed by placing their favorite items on decorated altars, known as Ofrendas. These offerings symbolize the things the spirits enjoyed in life, and it is believed they come back to retrieve them on this day.

One of the most iconic symbols of Día de los Mu***os is the skull, which you'll find in the festival’s art, including makeup, masks, and sugar skulls. Today, the skull has become a playful representation of life after death, reminding us that death is a natural part of life and helping to ease the fear of it by showing the deceased continuing their lives in the afterlife.

👉 Come dressed for the occasion and visit the Ofrenda we’ll have on display at the market to honor those who have passed. Feel free to bring a picture of your loved one and place it on the altar as part of the tribute.
