WinterFest is an annual downtown event in the City of El Paso. It begins the weekend before Thanksgiving and ends on the first Monday of January. The event began in 2015 and is considered the most incredible festival in the Southwest. It commences with the ceremonial lighting of the holiday tree and San Jacinto Plaza. The opening ceremony includes the Scherr Legate WinterFest Lights Parade and a festive concert. San Jacinto Plaza is adorned with over 500,000 mini-lights, oversized decorations, and a 55-ft holiday tree throughout the season. Winter-themed attractions and family-friendly programs are offered in and around downtown. Visitors can enjoy the outdoor ice-skating rink, holiday trees, and displays and stroll along the bedecked Paseo de las Luces to see festive holiday decor. WinterFest is a beloved tradition in the community, and various partners work with the City of El Paso to make it bigger and better for El Pasoans and visitors to enjoy.
