The upcoming events in the Borderland, including the Selena tribute and 'Viva! El Paso ', showcase the region's rich cultural heritage and its ability to bring the community together. The fact that these events are being held at the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre, a popular outdoor venue, highlights the importance of public spaces in fostering a sense of community and civic engagement. The free admission to the Cool Canyon Nights concert series and the Movies at the Park series also demonstrates the city's efforts to make cultural events accessible to all residents, regardless of income level.
