El Mercado (Market Square) – Día de los Muertos altars

El Mercado (Market Square) at the historic plaza is widely cited as the largest Mexican market in the United States. Each year the site hosts Día de los Muertos events that include public ofrendas (altars), cultural performances, and vendors drawing local and regional participants. The plaza has served as a recurring focal point for community memorial rituals and public commemorations tied to Mexican and Tejano traditions.
