22nd annual Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl Fiesta returns to Downtown El Paso Monday night

EL PASO, Texas-- It's an El Paso tradition and it's making a return for the 22nd year. The Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl Fan Fiesta, presented by Favor, will once again bring an evening of family fun to Downtown El Paso Monday, December 30th.

The event is free and open to the public. The Fan Fiesta features dances by traditional Ballet Folklorico groups accompanied by mariachis, live music by Soul Parade and Beatles United, as well as plenty of food, drinks and games.

“This annual tradition continues to grow year after year.” said Sun Bowl Association Executive Director Bernie Olivas. “We hope all visitors from out-of-town and locals can enjoy everything Downtown El Paso has to offer.”

One fan favorite event that happens every year at the Fan Fiesta is the “Battle of the Bands” between the two competing universities bands, followed by a “drumline competition”. This year's "Battle of the Bands" will feature Florida State and Arizona State band members.

The Fan Fiesta will be held at the El Paso Convention Center from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
