About Music Under the Stars Concert Series
Every summer, thousands flock to Chamizal National Memorial to attend Music Under the Stars Concert Series. The program is one of El Paso’s leading family events celebrating its 30th Anniversary this summer. The series boasts performances by local, national and international artists in many genres including: salsa, bluegrass, rock, tribute, and jazz. Each season features a 4th of July patriotic concert with a closing firework spectacular.
Visiting artists embrace the community by giving free music workshops to under-served youth at local community recreational centers or detention centers the day following their live performances. These workshops help motivate and inspire their audiences and our community.
