WinterFest was honored with a proclamation during this morning’s City Council meeting!
Get ready for the magic of the season! From November 21, 2026 through January 3, 2027, we proudly celebrate "WinterFest Days" in El Paso! This beloved festival, featuring the Scherr Legate Lights Parade, brings our community together in a joyous holiday celebration.
San Jacinto Plaza will twinkle with over one million lights, oversized decorations, and a stunning 45-foot holiday tree, and the magic spreads all the way over to Cleveland Square Park with even more dazzling displays and activities! Enjoy family friendly attractions, including The Rink: Presented by GECU, holiday displays, and the illuminated Paseo de las Luces.
Last year, over 580,000 people experienced the joy of WinterFest in a safe and festive environment, creating cherished memories from ice skating to sipping hot cocoa. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our wonderful sponsors each year. We are incredibly thankful to the Scherr Legate Law Firm for sponsoring the Lights Parade for the past eight season! El Pasoans are able to watch the Scherr Legate Lights Parade live thanks to our wonderful media sponsors Telemundo 48- El Paso! We also have to extend a huge thank you to GECU for not only sponsoring our free Pictures with Santa, but also The Rink! We can't wait to kick off the 2026 season with you El Paso!
