Fall is in full swing in El Paso! Afternoon highs are about to dip, meaning we will REALLY feel like it’s fall with much cooler temperatures! 

Many families have already made their way to local Pumpkin patches, fall festivals and maybe even a few haunted houses! All to get into the spooky spirit before Halloween! 

This year Halloween falls on a Saturday and The City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department is hosting its annual Halloween Carnivals on Saturday, October 31, giving families opportunities to enjoy spooky season with activities, candy, games and more.
