How have I lived in Dallas this long and never been inside the Hall of State?
Last night was my first visit, and I was completely blown away. It is truly one of the most beautiful buildings in Dallas.
I was there for the Dallas Historical Society’s State Fair Preview Party, getting a sneak peek before the State Fair of Texas opens. This year, the Hall of State is the new home of Mundo Latino: Día de los Mu***os, with incredible art installations, alebrijes and beautiful displays celebrating the traditions of Día de los Mu***os.
The exhibit is spectacular, but honestly, I couldn’t stop looking at the building itself. If you’re like me and have somehow gone to the State Fair year after year without stepping inside the Hall of State, this is the year to change that.
Mundo Latino: Día de los Mu***os runs throughout the State Fair, September 25 through October 18, and is included with Fair admission.
Thank you to the Dallas Historical Society for giving me the perfect excuse to finally discover this Dallas treasure.
