Dallas City Hall Plaza

Dallas City Hall Plaza serves as the central hub of the Dallas Día de Muertos Parade & Festival, transforming the civic heart of downtown into a vivid tapestry of culture, remembrance, and celebration. The expansive plaza—designed by architect I. M. Pei—offers ample space for live performances, altars, and art installations, set against the striking backdrop of the Dallas skyline.

The venue’s open-air layout accommodates large crowds for the parade’s start and finish, as well as the surrounding Festival Zone, which includes the Reliant Main Stage, Community Altar Pavilion, Food Court, and Artisan Mercado. Families can enjoy interactive exhibits, children’s workshops, and traditional foods in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere.

Located near major landmarks like the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and Pioneer Plaza, the venue is easily accessible via DART public transit and nearby parking garages.
