The El Paso Museum of Archaeology is excited to announce our 18th Season of Poppies Fest happening March 2025! This amazing festival is comprised of vendors, food trucks, performances, workshops and community. EPMArch would like to invite you to be a part of our event!
Here are some quick facts about Poppies Fest:
- Poppies Fest is celebrating its 18th year!
- This month-long celebration of the Mexican Gold Poppies that bloom across the foot of the Franklin Mountains was created to celebrate, educate and protect the land.
- This event will be held outdoors in the EPMArch Parking lot. We strongly recommend our collaborators to bring their own canopy, table and weights.
- Event is family & dog friendly, FREE and open to the public.
- Last year we had over 1,000 visitors each Saturday
Let's celebrate spring and the Poppies blooming season at the Museum of Archaeology! We are looking for booth activities, exhibitors, vendors, food trucks, performers, sponsors and/or partners.
