Gala Dia de Muertos 2026
Join Avanza Arkansas on November 5 for an unforgettable evening celebrating life, culture, remembrance, and community through Mexican traditions, food, art, live music, performances, and storytelling.
Every guest will receive a handcrafted copal wood alebrije made in Mexico and a complimentary drink—our custom Día de Muertos vodka cocktail, local beer, or seltzer.

A dark suit and tie (black, charcoal, or deep navy) is preferred. A traditional tuxedo is also welcome but not required. Burgundy accents are encouraged.
Please avoid light-colored suits, sport coats, open collars, denim, and casual attire.
What should women wear to the Gala?
A formal evening gown, cocktail dress, or elegant pantsuit is encouraged. Black and burgundy are preferred, and sophisticated Día de Muertos-inspired details are welcome.

What time does the Gala start and end?
The Gala begins at 6:00 PM and is expected to conclude by 9:00 PM. We encourage guests to arrive on time to enjoy the full experience.
