Featuring holograms, projection mapping, interactive lasers and BMX daredevils, Holiday Dreams is worlds apart from the traditional cirque-style shows. Holiday Dreams also features the most amazing and talented cast of cirque performers, comedic actors, singers and specialty acts from all corners of the world.”

Winterfest
Now through January 1, 2023
Promoted as the Coolest Fest in the Southwest, Winterfest has become a tradition in El Paso with the ceremonial lighting of the tree and throughout the historic San Jacinto Plaza.

Make a day of it, or go back for more, for a family skate around the rink or saunter through the seasonal trees and displays. The City of El Paso and partners strive to make the season bigger and better for El Pasoans and visitors to enjoy.
