SAN ANTONIO — Muertos Fest, the beloved cultural event celebrating loved ones that takes over Hemisfair every fall, is tacking on an additional night for 2025.

The change extends the San Antonio festival's typical two days of events into a third. That means the 13th edition of Muertos Fest kicks off on Friday, Oct. 24, before continuing through the weekend with vibrant ofrendas, music and eats to commemorate a time of remembrance.

It's the first time San Antonio's take on Día de Muertos starts on Friday night, which will feature an "all-star tribute" to Flaco Jimenez, the legendary Alamo City accordionist who died this summer at the age of 86. Jimenez's brother, Santiago, will perform that night, along with Patsy Torres, Ruben Ramos, Rick Trevino, members of Los Lobos and others.
