Lucha Libre Added to Downtown El Paso Fiesta de las Luces

Mariachis, vendors, food trucks, and now you can add masked wrestlers to the lineup of the next Fiesta de las Luces.

It wouldn't be a block party that celebrated local culture without luchadores, given how big a part Mexican wrestling and wrestlers are in our border culture.
