This Texas City’s Poppy Fest Is Pure Spring Magic—Here’s Why You Should Go!

Spring in El Paso, Texas is about to get a whole lot brighter!

It’s still technically winter in El Paso (although these 80 degree temperatures make us feel like it’s already Spring!) But Spring will be here before we know it, and that means…. POPPIES!

El Paso, it’s time to dust off your picnic blankets and get ready for the most vibrant festival of the season—Poppies Fest 2025!

Family Friendly Event For All!

This event always brings out locals and visitors of all ages to enjoy the beautiful poppies El Paso’s beautiful mountains have to offer. Now, will there be as many beautiful poppies as there have been in the past? That question won’t be answered until we get closer to the event dates, but for now plan on celebrating Poppies Fest 2025 this March!

The El Paso Museum of Archaeology is thrilled to announce the 18th annual Poppies Fest, a month-long celebration of our stunning golden blooms, happening every Saturday in March from 10 AM to 3 PM.

This isn’t just about flowers—each weekend brings a new theme packed with performances, exhibitors, vendors, food trucks, workshops, and all-around good vibes.

Here’s what’s in store:

🏵️ March 8 – Native American: Experience Indigenous culture through music, dance, and storytelling.
🏵️ March 15 – Go Local: Everything El Paso: Support local artists, businesses, and community-driven projects.
🏵️ March 22 – Fiesta Time!: Think bright colors, lively entertainment, and non-stop fun!
