The festival is family-friendly, including shaded areas for rest and numerous artistic installations to enjoy. Those looking for an enhanced experience can consider VIP access, providing exclusive amenities and optimal views.
A Day of Pride at the Museum of History
As part of the celebrations, the El Paso Museum of History is hosting its sixth annual Family Day: Pride on June 7 from noon to 4 p.m. This free event aims to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, featuring a queer-owned vendor market, engaging activities for all ages, and a resource fair connecting attendees with local organizations such as Sun City Pride and PFLAG El Paso.
Highlighting this year’s festivities is a new pop-up exhibit focusing on the historic Diamond Lil Club, an LGBTQ+ bar that played a significant role in El Paso’s history from the 1960s to the 80s. This exhibit serves as a reminder of the impact of local venues in shaping community culture.
