EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — An El Paso holiday tradition returns for another year.
The annual Navidad De La Fe Luminarias will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 21 along Scenic Drive.
Volunteers and staff members from Centro De Salud Familiar La Fe will place about 4,000 luminarias along Scenic Drive. La Fe has been doing this event for about 30 years.
“This is our organization’s gift to El Paso. Luminarias are traditional, shining beacons of hope for peace and social justice. They are a symbol of the commitment that La Fe has had to our community’s families since 1967,” La Fe CEO Salvador Balcorta said
Starting at 6 p.m. on Dec. 21, vehicles can enter Scenic Drive at Richmond Avenue on the east side of the mountain. Traffic will travel westbound on Scenic Drive in a single lane. Drivers are asked to dim their lights and proceed slowly and carefully along the event’s route.
All participants are asked to stay in their vehicles at all times for safety reasons.
Vehicles will exit Scenic Drive at Rim Road.
Canned and non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the top of Scenic Drive with Santa and his elves. Cash donations to help feed El Paso families in need are also welcome. Checks can be made out to “Centro De Salud Familiar La Fe” or to “La Fe.”
