Conway Hosts Vibrant Day of the Dead Celebration at Collin’s Park This Weekend

Conway Celebrates the Day of the Dead with Fun and Festivities

If you’re in and around Conway, South Carolina this weekend, you’re in for a treat! The city is keeping the spooky season alive by hosting an exciting event for the Day of the Dead, also known as Dia de los Muertos. This traditional Mexican holiday is all about remembering and honoring loved ones who have passed away, and Conway is adding a dash of fun to the celebration!

When and Where to Join In

Mark your calendars for this Friday and Saturday, because from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Collin’s Park is the place to be! Located right on 16th Avenue, the park will transform into a festive hub filled with activities perfect for the whole family. It’s a great opportunity to get out and mingle with your community while enjoying the spirit of the season.

Family Fun Awaits!

One of the coolest features of this event is the array of food trucks that will be rolling in. Whether you’re in the mood for tacos, tamales, or something sweeter, you’ll definitely want to check out the tasty options available! And what’s a fair without a bounce house? Kids (and kids at heart!) can enjoy bouncing around, letting off some steam and making memories with friends and family.

Meet La Catrina

Get ready to meet the star of the show—an impressive skeleton statue known as “La Catrina.” This beautifully decorated figure symbolizes death in a fun and festive way, reminding us to celebrate life. Plus, there will be an altar set up where families can create their own offerings and remember those they’ve lost. It’s a beautiful blend of culture and creativity.

Movie Magic Under the Stars

And here’s the cherry on top! At 6 p.m., gather your family near the big screen because they will be showing Disney’s “Encanto.” It’s a wonderful film that’ll have everyone singing along and enjoying the magic of family ties while celebrating this special holiday. Just imagine, popcorn in hand, surrounded by loved ones, laughing and soaking up the ambiance of a lovely fall evening!

A Free Event for Everyone

The best part? This amazing event is free to enter! No tickets, no fuss—just bring yourself and your family to enjoy a day filled with goodwill and good times. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate a meaningful holiday while making new memories without having to break the bank.

Bring Your Loved Ones

So, whether you’re a Conway local or just visiting, grab your loved ones and head down to Collin’s Park this weekend. It’s the perfect way to embrace the spirit of Dia de los Muertos, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate everything that brings families together. Who knows? You might even make some new friends along the way!
