Once considered a sleepy city of the Wild West, modern El Paso is a bustling metropolitan with top-notch museums, a thriving arts and entertainment district, and adventure sports for those interested in an adrenaline rush. The city is home to the El Paso Chihuahuas. It also hosts an eclectic range of events, including a derby race, a rock rodeo and fan fiesta before the Sun Bowl, to keep locals and tourists entertained throughout the year.

Fiesta de las Flores is the city's annual Spanish festival and the oldest in the region. The festival has live performances by artists from across the country, in addition to regional cuisine, games and art exhibitions by local vendors. The city has also emerged as the mecca for music in the region. The list of annual music festivals in El Paso includes events as diverse as Sun City Music Festival - an electronic music festival - and Music Under the Stars, a festival dedicated to live bands across genres.

While El Paso has a fair number of big venue concerts, there is no dearth of intimate live music venues either. Tricky Falls, Lowbrow Palace and Electric Banana are just a few of the places where music aficionados can expect to discover local talent. Fans of sports can root for the city's baseball team at Southwest University Park.

The city has an emerging arts and theater scene as well, with such venues as The Plaza Theater hosting performances of popular plays.
