El Paso, Texas, is not too far from the Rio Grande river. While there is plenty to do in this city, for both residents and tourists, festivals are one of the main attractions. Every year, there are dozens of festivals within driving distance from El Paso. If you’re interested in going to one of these festivals, here are some within a two-hour drive from El Paso, that will be occurring in June 2017.
Annual Billy The Kid Breakout Festival
In June 2017, you should consider stopping by the Annual Billy the Kid Breakout Festival. It will be held in the San Elizario Historic District, from June 2nd to June 4th. This event is free to the public and there will be exhibits and activities that guests can take part in each day, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Billy the Kid is a famous gunfighter of the American Old West. He is known for participating in the Lincoln County War as well as for murdering eight men. Sheriff Garrett shot and killed Billy the Kid. However, according to many legends, Billy the Kid did not die that night. Since then, many men have claimed that they are Billy the Kid.
Village Vibes Golf Tournament
The Village of Vinton, Keep Vinton Beautiful, and other community partners are responsible for making the Village Vibes Golf Tournament a reality. These community partners created the golf tournament as a fundraiser to support the Village Vibes Music Festival.
As Keep Vinton Beautiful is an environmental non-profit organization, the proceeds from both the Village Vibes Golf Tournament and the Village Vibes Music Festival will help pay for a new learning center and community garden in the village of Vinton.
The community garden and learning center will be in the center of Vinton on four acres of land. The community garden will produce fresh fruits and vegetables for the Vinton residents. Local farmers will be able to make a living by growing produce and local residents and students can learn about the environment at the learning center.
The Village Vibes Golf Tournament is on June 2, at 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Vinton will hold the event at the Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course. The event costs $150 for an individual and $500 for teams.
