Muertos Fest at Hemisfair Park! Though it may not be as grand as Mexico City's, the atmosphere here is uniquely heartfelt and full of local charm. Every moment felt special, and I highly recommend it—especially if you’ve never experienced Día de los Muertos before! 🎬 Pro tip: Before you go, watch the movie Coco 🎥 to better understand the beautiful traditions and meaning behind the celebration.
