Experience four centuries of El Paso's history in the picturesque outdoor McKelligon Canyon Amphitheater!
VIVA! El Paso is a musical drama staged outdoors each summer in the McKelligon Canyon, an urban park located just two miles from the city's edge. The amphitheatre is nestled in the Franklin Mountains, providing a majestic and dramatic backdrop for the depiction of the unique history of this Southwestern region. VIVA! El Paso has come to be known as the "soul" of El Paso because it takes the city's special, multi-cultural qualities and conveys them through a sensitive, first class production, that is a tremendous source of community pride.
VIVA! El Paso was created in 1978 to serve as a showcase for El Paso's cultural history and a performing outlet for El Paso's talented youth. In the past 32 years VIVA! El Paso has become one of the city's best tourism and educational resources.
The lengendary performances detail 400 years of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and Western American peoples throught traditional dance, original song, brilliant costumes, and stunning special effects.
