Pop Goes the Fort

This annual event is held each year with live entertainment, food trucks, glow merch and of course a  fireworks display sponsored by USAA!

This year the fireworks will be LONGER!! Don't miss out on this spectacular display!

Performances by the 1st Armored Division Band and the El Paso Symphony Orchestra.

Patrons are able to bring their own canopies to stay cool, but will be set up in a designated area, so that it does not disrupt the view for others. **When the area is filled, canopies will no longer be allowed into the park.**

Coolers, picnic blankets and chairs are welcome! 

**Please remember outside alcoholic beverages, glass containers or pets are prohibited at the park.**

SAFETY WRISTBANDS:

Parents, children ages 12 and younger need a wrist bracelet to enter Biggs Park.

The wrist bracelet is for the safety of a child who may become lost at the Pop Goes the Fort event. Biggs Park is a huge area and can easily be overwhelming for young kids who can’t remember where they left their parents. This bracelet will help them find their lost parent.

Special Events will be handing out wrist bracelets June 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. and June 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. next to the Leisure Travel Service desk at Freedom Crossing.

Wrist Bracelets will be handed out the day of the event as well.

Registrations for the Eating Contest is now CLOSED.
