Hotel Contessa

Get festive at Hotel Contessa’s Cookies & Cocktails Workshop! Join local decorator Sift & Sip...

Enjoy prime Riverwalk views, a festive pre-party with mariachis, carolers, Santa photos, drinks, crafts, and local vendors before the parade lights up the night.

Join us for Spirits & Sips, an adults-only altar workshop. Sip a signature cocktail as you create your own mini altar, vibrant marigolds, and colorful papel picado—perfectly set against the festive backdrop of the Riverwalk.

Kids 12 and under are invited to celebrate Día de los Muertos at Hotel Contessa with a hands-on altar workshop led by local artist Mary Carmen Sessions. Young guests will create marigolds, papel picado, and mini pan de muerto, while enjoying snacks and refreshments.
