Ofrenda exhibit open for community to pariticpate.
 The Mexic-Arte Museum hosted its 25th annual Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration and procession in Austin November 1. While the big shebang was on the day itself, the museum’s yearly Día de los Muertos altar exhibition will remain through November 9. Every year, the Austin community is invited to participate in creating their own ofrenda (altar) in memory of family and friends. The exhibit will also include both traditional and contemporary altars dedicated to various public figures, including political activists and musicians. |

Ofrenda exhibit open for community to pariticpate.

The holiday we’re talking about takes place the day after October 31, with nary a pumpkin in sight. It is, of course, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). |

 Zombie theater extends action through November 7.
Zombie movies have become a staple of any Halloween season, so when it came time for Weird City Theatre to open their season, just a week before Halloween, the choice for a show was a simple one. They then took upon themselves the daunting task of bringing George Romero’s horror classic, Night of the Living Dead, to the stage, and the result is a bloody, gory fright fest worthy of the great horror auteur himself. |

While there’s always the old stand-by of hitting Sixth Street to parade in a police-monitored circle, there are plenty of other options to don your costume.

So below, in some particular order, are a few of the standouts for Halloween night. |
