Spotlight on Mexico Exhibit to Add a New Dimension to the Festival

The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival will feature a brand new exhibit this year called Spotlight on Mexico. Located just inside the main gate of Town Green Park, festival attendees will find this interactive living museum showcasing Mexico's art, music and dance, culinary delights, history and traditions in a village atmosphere.

Sponsors La Costeña Foods and Don Julio Tequila will offer their signature beverages and tastes of Mexico, and Caffé di Fiore will offer authentic Mexican cuisine.

Another highlight will be a Dia de los Muertos exhibit with hands-on activities to decorate the ofrendas or beautiful altars created for this popular holiday. This new addition to the Festival is made possible by sponsors and organizations Asociación Amiga, La Costeña Foods, Don Julio Tequila, Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston and the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce.
