Join us in celebrating the 18th Annual Frida Festival curated by Lizbeth Ortiz and this year hosted at MECA Historic Dow School! Since 2004 they have been gathering to celebrate the legacy and inspiration of Frida Kahlo.

The Frida Festival aims to unite the community through creative expression by collaborating with local artists, organizations and businesses to celebrate the life of one of Latin America’s most highly respected visual artists – Frida Kahlo. The Festival was established as a celebration of the birthday of Frida and her life, art and passions.

​The festival is used as a platform to promote the story of Frida’s life to teach the Houston community about art, culture, heritage, and history. The celebrations will showcase our diverse community talents in art, music, dance, and other forms of artistic expression in an art urban arts market.
