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.
Welcome to Saint Patrick Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of El Paso. Located in downtown El Paso, the Cathedral is an important historical landmark and a beautiful expression of faith. The clergy and townspeople built it to showcase their devotion to their religion. The Cathedral boasts custom-made stained-glass windows created by the Emil Frei Art Glass Co. of St. Louis and Munich. These windows depict scenes of Jesus Christ's life, from His birth to resurrection. The windows were donated by different parishioners, who also included inscriptions dedicated to their friends or family members.
Keystone Heritage Park is a unique combination of an archeological site, an archaic wetland, and a botanical garden, making it an ideal destination for birdwatchers. The Park is over 58 acres in El Paso's Upper Valley, and its volunteer directors are responsible for preserving and developing it. With over 193 bird species, Keystone Heritage Park is a paradise for bird lovers. It is also a popular stop for migratory birds, making it a must-visit destination for birdwatchers.
