Latin market brings festivities to Mansfield

The holiday season is around the corner, and Mansfield is preparing to usher the celebrations with a Dia de los Muertos market and festival.

The Dia de los Muertos Mercado will welcome guests and interested parties next month. It will offer a cultural experience for attendees who want to learn more about the Latin tradition of the Day of the Dead, with a market full of traditional food, cultural music, and clothing.

Local restaurants from around Mansfield will participate and contribute by offering food options to guests at the market. Live music will also be a staple of the market to keep the energy up and add to a memorable experience. Banner printing is a colorful way to make impressions on guests while sharing sponsor information to build brand visibility and awareness.

Several vendors will also be present at the market to offer handmade goods and arts and crafts. The market will be holding a Catrina contest, with the Catrina being the iconic skeleton character associated with the holiday. Individuals who want to participate should show up in their best Catrina makeup. In keeping with the sentiment behind Dia de lost Muertos, the festival hopes to foster an environment of love and remembrance.

The celebrations will be held at the Taqueria La Ventana in downtown Mansfield on Saturday, November 2, with the gates opening at 5:00 PM. General admission is free, and interested parties can stay updated online.
