Keeping Our Heritage Alive
In 2021, thanks to the generous support of the McKinney Community Development Corporation and the dedication of Jason Hernandez with Legacy Keepers of Old East McKinney, a passionate team came together to bring this vision to life. While our team has changed and grown over the years, our executive committee of Pearl Garza, Veronica Campbell, and Magdelena Fusaro bring this event to the community with the help of the McKinney Chamber Foundation and McKinney Community Development Corporation. With over 150 volunteers each year, the McKinney Dia de los Muertos continues strong and grows every year!
six years of celebration
This year, we’re bringing McKinney’s biggest and best Día de los Muertos celebration to life—bigger, brighter, and more vibrant than ever! We’re excited to welcome people from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond to join in, whether that’s attending the event, engaging with us on social media, or simply learning more about this beautiful tradition.
Get ready to enjoy your favorite activities from past years, along with exciting new experiences to make this celebration even more unforgettable!
We’re especially proud to mark our 6th anniversary with new activities to make the event brighter and better than before. Together, we honor the past while inspiring the future—come celebrate with us!
