2023 El Paso Poppies Fest Dates and Schedule of Events
The Museum of Archaeology is gearing up for its first Poppies Fest since 2019.
As we previously reported, the celebration of the Mexican Gold Poppy will go from one Saturday in March to five consecutive Saturdays this year. You’ll find each Saturday's schedule of events below.

The Poppies are Blooming

Although wildflowers have started to dot Wilderness Park around the Museum of Archaeology it’s still too early to tell how widespread and abundant this year’s bloom will be.
Traversing the Trails
The El Paso Museum of Archaeology is located at 4301 Transmountain Road, and open Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The trails are marked and open to the public.
When traversing the trails, please do not sit or lay down in the patches for photos. Smashing plants and flowers hurt seed production. Oh, and don’t pick any to take home. Leave them to propagate and scatter their seeds for next year's bloom.
