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.
The Reagan isn't just any restaurant; it's a beautifully designed space that covers a whopping 6300 square feet. It boasts a lounge upstairs and a basement, providing back-of-house services. The redesigning of the original ceilings and wall treatments, complete overhaul of the underground space, and new construction were not rushed but were a labor of love that took over two years to complete, ensuring every detail was perfect for our guests. At The Reagan, mixologists take the art of mixology seriously. They frequently use centrifuged oil infusion and inject syrups with local flavors to add regional flair to our concoctions. They also often use clay-aged water in batches for the bar. Spirits are just as important as any other ingredient in the drinks, and they give them the attention they deserve at The Reagan.
