It’s easy to find Halloween parties and events, but Día de los Muertos celebrations are a little harder to come by. Saturday, October 25th, visit Mankato for a Day of the Dead celebration!

This vibrant celebration fills the street with local vendors and businesses in a lively, welcoming atmosphere where everyone can gather to honor tradition, enjoy unique experiences, and celebrate together.
