Celebrate Mom with Mariachis Thursday at Cool Canyon Nights

Mother’s Day isn't until Sunday, but that doesn't mean you can’t honor thy mother a few days earlier at the 2023 debut of Cool Canyon Nights.

Show mom what a thoughtful and loving son/daughter you've become and spend some quality time with the woman who gave you life this Thursday in the cool shade of the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre.

We bet mom would love to be serenaded by Mariachis as colorfully dressed folklóric dancers move effortlessly across the stage.

The eleven-year Thursday night tradition gets underway May 11 with Mariachi Los Arrieros.

Entertaining El Pasoans since 1996, the homegrown troupe has also performed all over the U.S. and has shared the stage with the likes of Vicente Fernandez, Lucero, Marco Antonio Solis, Pepe Aguilar, and so many others.

As always, they will perform in the traditional formal charro garb, and you know what that means: sombrero, super sexy tight pants, and a short-fitted jacket.

The music starts at 6 p.m. with Tony Ramirez on the patio, and craft beer, cocktails, and food trucks in the cool shade of McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre. Admission is free on a first-come first-served basis.
