Listen Later

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, June 7, 2025.

El Paso is buzzing with excitement today as the fourth annual Sal y Limon Street Festival takes over Downtown's San Jacinto Plaza. This celebration of tacos, tequila, and music features three stages with headliners Los Tucanes de Tijuana and Corazón de Maná. Festival co-founder Gus Chavez calls it "the largest taco, tequila, and music festival in the Southwest," with family-friendly activities and local vendors showcasing our community's flavors.

Families looking for additional weekend activities can enjoy the free Zoo Fun Walk happening at the El Paso Zoo. This family-oriented event offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy our beautiful zoo while getting some exercise.

Speaking of our zoo, the El Paso Zoo and Botanical Gardens recently welcomed a group of spring babies. If you haven't visited lately, now might be the perfect time to see these adorable new additions.

At City Hall, the City Council has been busy streamlining their meeting procedures. They've updated their rules of order, combining public comment and call to the public at 10 AM. The next regular council meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 9, though we're hearing it may be canceled. The following meeting will take place on June 16.

Weather-wise, we're in for a hot weekend. Today's high will reach 103 degrees, and tomorrow's temperatures will climb even higher to 105. A Heat Advisory is in effect for Sunday throughout El Paso and parts of Hudspeth County. Stay cool, hydrated, and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours.

Looking ahead to later this month, mark your calendars for El Fresco Music Series on June 27 at the Convention Center Plaza. This free outdoor concert is part of the 2025 season's "Ritmo & Rodeo" theme, featuring local country and Latin bands. It's a wonderful showcase of our region's diverse musical talent.

For those tracking El Paso's "Most Wanted" list, a new group of fugitives was announced for this week. Authorities continue to seek public assistance in locating these individuals.

As summer heats up, our community calendar is filling with events that highlight El Paso's vibrant culture and community spirit. From music festivals to family activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy this weekend.

This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
