To the nearly 200 extraordinary artists, performers, volunteers, vendors and family members who brought the 2026 Seattle Catrinas Festival to life:
What we created together at Town Hall Seattle and throughout this milestone fifth anniversary was far more than an event—it was a sacred, living testament to our roots, our culture, proud and our collective soul. Behind every monumental Catrina, every note of music, every solemn step of our procession, and every pair of hands working tirelessly behind the scenes, you poured your passion and love into every single detail.
Thanks to all our incredible talent both on and off the stage, we continue to stand proudly as the most spectacular DĂa de Mu***os celebration in the USA.
You proved once again that nuestras raĂces y nuestra cultura jamás podrán ser deportadas. Thank you for keeping our heritage alive far from home, for honoring those who came before us, and for living by our guiding philosophy: “Disfruta tu vida y abraza tu muerte” (Enjoy your life and embrace your death).
This historic success belongs to every single one of you.
Nos vemos en el SCF 2027.
With endless gratitude,
Carlos Alvarado. Founder of the Seattle Catrinas Festival.
