Luminarias by the Lake Returns to Keystone Heritage Park

El Paso is full of so many holiday light shows but nothing is quite as beautiful as Luminarias lit up during the holiday season right by a beautiful lake and if you have yet to experience that beauty then you are in luck.

Luminarias by the Lake is back at Keystone Heritage Park on December 5 & 6, 2025, from 6–9 PM, and this beloved El Paso tradition is ready to hit you right in the festive feels.

This annual event features housands of warm, flickering luminarias guiding you through peaceful garden trails, Christmas music drifting through the air, and your family, friends, or significant other feeling like they’re inside a Hallmark movie. It’s the kind of holiday night you wish you could bottle up.

What To Expect at The 2025 Luminarias by the Lake 

Local vendors will be out with handcrafted gifts and beautiful poinsettias from High Desert Native Plants, so yes, you can 100% check a few things off your shopping list while you soak in the view. 

There’s a brand-new highlight this year: raffle tickets for a stunning crocheted quilt, lovingly handmade and donated by one of Keystone’s volunteers.

The Doña Ana County Ridgerunner 4-H Club will also be serving hot chocolate and cookies. Bring a clean cup and help keep this a low-waste event.

Admission is just $5 for adults and $2 for kids 11 and under, making this one of the sweetest, most affordable holiday outings in the city.
