Dia De Los Muertos Street Festival
Celebrate Día de los Muertos in Corpus Christi with Herrman & Herrman
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, downtown Corpus Christi will fill with music, art, food, and remembrance for the annual Día de los Muertos Street Festival. Herrman & Herrman is excited to join the celebration with a La Empressa business booth. If you’re attending, stop by and say hello to our team.
The festival runs from 1 p.m. to midnight, and admission is free. It stretches across Chaparral, Mesquite, Starr, Peoples, and Taylor Streets, giving families and friends plenty of room to explore one of the Coastal Bend’s most beloved traditions.
A Celebration of Life and Remembrance
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican tradition centered on remembering loved ones who have died. It is a time to share their stories, honor what they meant to us, and celebrate the connections that continue across generations.
That spirit is at the heart of the Corpus Christi festival. The streets will be lively, but visitors will also find space for reflection in the community ofrendas. These altars are created to honor people who have passed away. Each one offers a glimpse into a life and the memories held by family, friends, and neighbors.
The Community Ofrenda Display is among the festival’s most meaningful stops. Organizers also invite visitors to bring a printed, framed photo, no larger than 8 by 10 inches, for the central community ofrenda. For anyone wishing to remember a loved one in that way, the display offers a chance to take part in the tradition.
Experience the Art and Music of the Coastal Bend
Now in its 19th year, the Día de los Muertos Street Festival brings together artists, performers, students, local businesses, and visitors from across the region. Four entertainment stages will feature a range of performances, including mariachi, Tejano music, Latin rock, Ballet Folklórico, and traditional cultural dance. Whether you stay for an afternoon or make an evening of it, there will be something new to discover as you walk through downtown.
Art is just as central to the celebration. Festivalgoers can browse handmade work from local artists and artisans, including jewelry, ceramics, textiles, and pieces inspired by Día de los Muertos. At K Space Contemporary, visitors can explore exhibitions and the annual youth piñata competition. This year’s piñata theme, “Leyendas: The Stories of Mexico,” gives young artists an opportunity to draw on legends, family stories, and traditions.
It is a wonderful chance to support Coastal Bend artists and see the care behind their work. You might find something to bring home, meet the person who made it, or leave with a story you did not know when you arrived.
Bring the Family and Come Hungry
The festival is designed for all ages. Families can visit the kids’ area for crafts, games, and entertainment, then spend time exploring the art, ofrendas, and performances together. Children can enjoy the energy of the day while learning about the meaning behind the celebration.
There will also be plenty to eat. Food vendors are expected to offer options ranging from tacos and nachos to barbecue and sweet treats. With more than 100 local vendors participating across the festival, it is easy to turn a visit into a full day downtown. Take your time, try something new, and support the people and small businesses that help make this event possible.
You are welcome to dress for the occasion, too. Colorful clothing, flower crowns, and Día de los Muertos makeup are encouraged, though they are entirely optional. What matters most is arriving ready to experience the art, enjoy the community, and approach the traditions being shared with respect.
Visit the Herrman & Herrman Booth
As a Corpus Christi law firm, Herrman & Herrman values opportunities to spend time with the people who make this community home. We are glad to participate in a festival that brings neighbors together and gives local artists and families a place to share their work, stories, and memories.
Look for our team at our La Empressa business booth while you explore the festival. We would love to meet you, catch up, and hear what you have enjoyed most. Whether you are visiting for the first time or return every year, please stop by and say hello.
Our booth is one small part of a much larger celebration. We hope you will make time to see the ofrendas, listen to the performers, visit the artists, and take in the care that goes into this Corpus Christi tradition.

Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia.

Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
