Loco for Cinco Fest highlights art and culture with live mural painting
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Many Wichitans filled the streets of downtown at the Loco For Cinco festival to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and local art and culture. The annual event not only brings Wichitans in but also people from Dallas-Fort Worth. Artists Juan Velazquez and Armando Aguirre were selected as this year's artists for the Loco for Cinco mural project, and the two painted their murals live during the event. Aguirre painted a Catrina, which is usually a female figure dressed as a skeleton or skull-faced. It's an iconic symbol of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). 'I was happy they chose this design because it was one that had been rejected for other clients, other opportunities. I kept holding on to it because I'm like, I know one day I'll be able to paint it,' Aguirre said. Aguirre's art has taken him not only across Texas but also California and Tennessee. In his first visit to Wichita Falls, he said seeing the culture and art come alive shows the city's identity. 'I feel like this is the perfect piece to do for today for Cinco de Mayo. Something that is celebrating our culture and our heritage,' Aguirre said. 'It makes me feel good because one of the things that I've been wanting to do is go out and paint in other places, travel, and paint. I'm doing that today, and it makes me feel really good.'
