It’s Backkkkkk! What’s back?! The Big El Paso Fair! And this year the fair is bigger and better than previous years.

Starting from April 12th till April 28th, Ascarate Park is transforming into a wonderland of fun, food, and festivities that you won't want to miss.

My teenage son was able to experience the fair for the first time last year and it was something he truly enjoyed.

He loved the rides and I loved the various types of food that were available! (However, I wasn’t cool enough to hang out with him and his friends while they were enjoying the fair.)

This year guests can expect a variety of food trucks at the fair that will cater to everyone’s taste buds.

Aside from food, the entertainment lineup is something you won’t want to miss. From mind-bending MAGIC SHOWS to jaw-dropping STUNT PERFORMANCES, there's something for everyone, young and old.

The Big El Paso fair will feature more state fair rides, free circus stunt shows, the Foam Zone, fabulous food, and carnival games.

Guests will also be able to ride the Sandstorm Roller-coaster, the Orbiter, the Starship, the Rocket, and if you can the special extreme ride, the Sling Shot!

Guests will also notice a few new things at this year’s fair. Ascarate Park has undergone a makeover with fresh concrete areas and lush green grass. There will also be more rides for guests to enjoy!

Discounts on Mega Passes and Admission tickets start March 12th. You can purchase your tickets online or you can head over to your nearest Walgreens to snag these fantastic deals before they're gone!

Free parking will be available for guests Monday’s through Thursday’s.
