El Paso New Years Eve 2024

Things to do on new years eve in El Paso. Top parties, hotels, bars & restaurants for NYE 2023-2024

El Paso

El Paso has some great events for New Years Eve and fun for all the family. It also has an amazing range of activities to keep you busy whilst you are visiting.

You'll definitely want to add Franklin Mountains State Park's Wyler Aerial Tramway onto your list of things to do. With epic panoramic views over to the US and over Mexico. You jump on one of the gondolas that will transport you to the top of Ranger Peak. Just make sure call and double check that it is running as high winds can stop the gondolas.

If you want some more fantastic views, then head up to Scenic Drive overlook around sunset to watch the city light up for the night. There are views over the mountains, El Paso and Juarez, a memorable trip out.

Every Saturday there is the Downtown Art & Farmers Market at Union Plaza District, there's great food, artwork, crafts, artists and local entertainment.

New Year Fireworks

There isn't a public display in the city as fireworks are banned within the city limits, but smaller local displays may be available on the outskirts depending on the weather - the fire marshal will only put a county wide ban in place if conditions are too dry.

Winterfest New Years Eve

Head to the Downtown Arts Festival Plaza for the outdoor skating rink, where you will be surrounded by Christmas lights, food vendors and there is the crazy giant snow globe for some festive fun photos.

There tends to be events held during Winterfest, including film showings, Santa and much more. This runs from mid November through to the beginning of January and the ice rink in particular is very popular on new years eve.
