Each year, local families, schools, community members, and organizations create individual altars to share at Muertos Fest. Each is built with respect and reverence, telling a unique story and keeping the memories of loved ones alive through one of Día de los Muertos’ most meaningful traditions.
Altar builders will set up their altars on Friday (time to be individually scheduled) and will leave their altars up for the duration of the festival.
Thank you to everyone who applied. We look forward to honoring this meaningful tradition together at this year’s Muertos Fest.
We are honored to showcase the creativity, stories, and remembrance that make Muertos Fest so meaningful. Thank you for your interest in applying and for helping keep this tradition alive.
Full details and requirements, including the Altar Policies, can be found within the application. Please review them carefully before submitting.
We ask for a $30 refundable deposit, which will be returned after your altar space is cleaned up following the festival. If the deposit presents a financial hardship, please reach out to altars@muertosfest.com.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled, so we encourage you to apply early.
