Popular Day of the Dead festival returns to Martin Square Oct. 15

By the end of Homewood’s first Dia de los Muertos festival last year, the crowd got into the spirit of the event, and Martin Square was filled with people dancing along with larger than life La Catrina and El Catrin figures.

The Day of the Dead festival will be back from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, and Gloria Contreras, art and performance curator, hopes to fill the square with color, music and joy.
