The highlight of the party will be a procession to the festival's centerpiece — a three-tiered altar designed by Houston artist Angel Quesada. 

In celebration of the Day of the Dead, visitors are invited to place items or photos associated with their departed loved ones on the altar. If you do bring photos, the park suggests you bring a copy of the original so you don't risk losing a treasured memory.

There will also be $10 "tequila Old Fashioned" drinks made available by The Grove.
