Today Día de los Muertos is a national holiday in Mexico, and celebrated in many parts of the United States as well. St. Louis and the surrounding area feature several festivals and celebrations that honor this tradition. It is a poignant time, both solemn and joyous, with colorful customs, pageantry, and whimsy despite the sobering subject. You can find Circus Kaput face painters at several local events on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 in the St. Louis area.
Face painting at Día de Los Muertos celebrations is becoming increasingly more popular as the years pass. At Circus Kaput, we have many talented artists who share their face and body painting for this special day to honor heritage, tradition and those who have gone before us.
Circus Kaput’s face painters are well versed in painting sugar skulls and other traditional Mexican art. But we have a variety of other entertainers to choose from as well. In addition to face painters, we offer stilt walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and more!
