TAKE PART IN THE COMMUNITY ALTAR

At the heart of Muertos Fest, alongside altars created by individuals and groups, is the Community Altar. This shared space honors and remembers loved ones who have passed. Guests are invited to take part in this meaningful Día de los Muertos tradition by submitting a photo of a loved one to be included in the Community Altar, creating a collective space of remembrance and celebration. The Community Altar Exhibit is open to all, as space allows.

The Community Altar will be on display Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Keep the memory of your loved one close and their story alive. Submit a photo to be included in this year's Community Altar.

Photo Usage & Permissions

We invite you to upload a photo of your loved one for consideration in our Community Altar at Civic Park in Hemisfair. We do our best to include every submission, but cannot guarantee placement. Upload errors or image resolution issues may occasionally prevent us from accessing or printing certain photos.

By uploading a photo through the Community Altar Submission Form, you confirm that you own the rights to the photo and grant Galaxy Productions and Muertos Fest permission to use it in festival-related media, including festival video screens, the Muertos Fest website, social media platforms, and the KSAT-12 broadcast special.
