"North Houston’s retail development kicks off its Dia de los Muertos celebrations on Friday, November 1, at 6:45 p.m. with a free showing of the Disney movie Coco in the plaza with complimentary popcorn while supplies last. The fun continues on Saturday, November 2, when the plaza hosts a ceremonial altar from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the community to recognize departed loved ones. Attendees will also get to craft flower crowns, pinatas, and decorative folk art at designated stations, and shop at the open-air market, where local artists and vendors will sell art, jewelry, handmade ornaments, accessories, and more. Loteria, face-painting, pop-up dance performances, mariachi, and live music from Bidi Bidi Banda, Austin’s first-all-star Selena tribute band, will also be happening around the plaza, with plenty of food trucks on-site for those who work up an appetite." - Brittany Britto Garley
