Day of the Dead Festival and CATRINA CONTEST

As part of our Día de los Muertos Festival at the Oldham County History Center, we’re hosting a Catrina Contest on Saturday, November 1 at 6:30 pm.
What is a Catrina?
La Catrina is an elegant Day of the Dead figure, often dressed in elaborate costumes and face paint, symbolizing that death is a natural part of life.
The contest is open to all ages, with categories for:
Children under 13
Ages 13–18
Ages 19 and up

Prizes awarded for First, Second, and Third place in each age category. The contest begins at 6:30 pm and the Festival runs from 3 – 8 pm at the Oldham County History Center, Downtown La Grange. Whether you come to compete or cheer on the contestants, the Catrina Contest is a highlight of the festival and a beautiful way to celebrate Mexican tradition and creativity.
