El Paso’s Enchanting 2023 Kermes Bazaar Fiestas

For those who haven't experienced a Kermes festival, I highly recommend it. The upcoming ones promise to be equally fun-filled and unforgettable.

The church bazaars, or kermeses, serve as the primary fundraiser for many area churches and attract thousands of visitors each year. At these events, you can indulge in delicious gorditas and other traditional foods, play loteria (a popular Mexican bingo-style game), and enjoy performances from some of the area's best talents.

It's a wonderful opportunity for people to come together, support their local churches, experience the richness of Mexican and Hispanic culture, and have a great time with family and friends. Whether you are there for the food, the games, or the entertainment, the church bazaars promise a delightful experience for all attendees.
