The Comic Strip is a lovely nightclub where you can laugh, whether you're watching a headliner or up-and-coming talent. The seating is arranged like a cabaret theater, with tables and chairs facing the stage, and the staff is friendly and discreet, ensuring you don't miss any of the action. To make the most of your visit, The Comic Strip suggests checking out a YouTube clip or the headliner's biography beforehand to get an idea of what to expect. Reserved ticket holders are seated closer to the stage, while General Admission seating is on a first-come-first-served basis. The venue also offers a range of event and room rental options, perfect for office parties or other gatherings.  

A trip to the El Paso area wouldn't be complete without stopping by the Hal Marcus Gallery. This small art gallery between UTEP and Downtown features a vibrant and imaginative exhibition that provokes thought. Visitors can explore works by the local El Paso painter Hal Marcus and other talented artists. At the gallery, visitors can view works showcasing artists' skills in various mediums, including oil, acrylic, mixed media, pen and ink, etching, and sculpture. The exhibition also includes a nine-minute looping video that offers profound insights into the art and Hal Marcus's distinctive approach.  

The beautiful mountains surrounding El Paso inspire a six-week festival called Celebration of our Mountains. This festival usually takes place in October and includes various activities such as bird watching, nature hikes and drives, mountain biking, and bat watching. There's even an event called Coffee, Hot Chocolate, muffins, and the Tramway. The Celebration of Our Mountains sponsors events for hiking, biking, birding, climbing, photographing, and studying the natural wonders, wildlife, geology, and archaeology of the greater El Paso region of the Chihuahuan Desert. It also offers field trips about human history, architecture, science, and technology.
