24 October 2023

EMPORIA (KSNT) – Emporia Main Street joined the 27 News Morning show to speak on the Día de los Muertos 2023 Festival coming up this weekend.

Día de Los Muertos is a holiday that celebrates and remembers family members that have passed away. It is a joyous occasion where people celebrate life and memories, rather than focus on death and sadness.

There will be food, dancing, games, mask-making and vendors for the community to enjoy. The event will kick off with a parade at 10:30 a.m. followed by festivities in Downtown Emporia.
