South El Paso Street is going to be lit Saturday, and I mean that both literally and figuratively.
Fiesta de las Luces is back May 21 and it’s bringing the lights, the food, and the music, and adding masked wrestlers and free trolley rides to the mix.
Border Fight
The heroes and villains of Lucha Frontera will rumble and tumble inside the ring and under the lights for the first time ever at Fiesta de las Luces.
Eight matches of lucha libre are scheduled for the evening including a battle of the sexes between Black Widow and Perrush K El Exotico.
