Poppies Preservation Celebration

2010 marks the fourth year for the Franklin Mountains Poppies Preservation Celebration - a FREE Family Fun Event. The festival will take place on Saturday, March 20th at the El Paso Museum of Archaeology, 4301 Transmountain Road and will include a full day of programming with nature talks and walks, wildlife displays and a visit with a real wolf, educational exhibits, demonstrations, art vendors, live music and food.
El Pasoans care deeply about the Franklin Mountains - one of our area's greatest assets. We are frequently blessed with a stunning wildflower display over particular parts of the Franklin Mountains when the Mexican golden poppies burst forth on Castner Range. In addition to the poppies, the Festival is an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and all our mountains have to offer.
NO parking at the museum or on Transmountain Road.
Free parking at Cohen Stadium and Overflow parking at EPCC (NE campus).
Free shuttle to and from the museum from 9:30am to 6:00pm
