Halloween is here, bringing ghosts, goblins, and skeletons to life. But in San Antonio, those skeletons are a bit more lively than your traditional Halloween spookfest. And guess what? They’re not for Halloween. Thanks to our city’s vibrant, rich...
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, takes place on November 2 every year. In some communities, celebrations begin on November 1 for Día de los Inocentes, a day to honor children and infants who have passed...

You might have noticed catrinas and sugar skulls everywhere lately. That's because Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is on November 2. Celebrations generally begin on November 1 for Día de los Inocentes, a day to honor children...
