April is one of the most wonderful times to go out to enjoy all the great weather and great events underway throughout the city and beyond — thanks to a packed calendar of festivals, cultural celebrations, and family-friendly events.  

One of the standout events each April is the El Paso Science Festival. Scheduled for April 18–19, 2026, the festival features hands-on exhibits, live demonstrations, and interactive activities designed for kids and adults alike. It’s especially popular with families because it encourages curiosity and learning through play, making science both accessible and exciting. The event continues to grow each year as one of the city’s premier spring attractions.

Love food? You’ll love this! The Taste of El Paso Festival, happening on April 25, 2026, is a must-visit for anyone interested in the local culinary scene. This all-ages event brings together food vendors, live entertainment, and great all-around things to do in El Paso in April.

That same weekend, adults looking for a lively social scene can check out the El Paso Margarita Festival. This event features margarita tastings, live DJs, and food vendors. It’s a fun, high-energy event that is ideal for special occasions.  We went there last year for a very fun and festive Ladies Night Out!

Beyond festivals, April also marks the start of baseball season in El Paso! The El Paso Chihuahuas play multiple home games throughout the month at Southwest University Park. If you have yet to attend one of their games, this is the year to do so. You’ll be hooked like the rest of us! Kids LOVE nights at the part as well as they can cheer on their favorite players and, of course, sing the classic 7^th Inning Stretch tune: “Take Me Out to The Ballgame.”!

If you are looking for a little more culture, El Paso has that too. For example, Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros takes place on April 25, celebrating children, reading, and community through interactive activities and educational programming. It’s a meaningful and fun event that reflects the city’s strong cultural identity and focuses on family.

Throughout April, visitors can also enjoy live music performances, theater shows, and community gatherings happening across the city. From small concerts at local venues to larger performances at historic theaters, there’s always something happening on any given weekend. For a complete list of events, click into VisitElPaso.com.
