About El Paso Convention Center Outdoor Plaza
Welcome to the Arts Festival Plaza, the outdoor event space at the El Paso Convention Center complex. This versatile plaza hosts beloved downtown events like the Downtown Street Festival and the Plaza Classic Film Festival. With a typical capacity of 250–300 people for festival settings, the plaza offers event-specific seating arrangements rather than a fixed seating chart. Planning ahead is key, especially during peak festival seasons in downtown El Paso.
Located at 1 Civic Center Plaza, El Paso, TX 79901, the plaza sits between the El Paso Museum of Art and Plaza Theatre, placing it in the heart of the city’s cultural district. Whether you’re attending a performance or coordinating an outdoor gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining.
Parking is convenient with 975 secure underground spaces nearby, plus official event parking in the Convention Center Parking Garage. For getting around, the El Paso Streetcar serves the downtown area nearby, and Sun Metro offers Park & Ride options. When staying in the area, consider convenient accommodations like Hotel Paso Del Norte Marriott Autograph Collection and Plaza Hotel Pioneer Park, both of which are across from the convention center complex.
