Brightside Music Fest featuring Steve Aoki, Hatch Green Chile on tap for weekend

We've got a busy weekend coming up with the start of Labor Day events in El Paso.

The St. Anthony's Seminary will have its anticipated annual bazaar this weekend, and the Magoffin Home is offering a fun cooking class that celebrates apple season. Ascarate Park will be the place for a fun, Latin, hip hop night, featuring Steve Aoki. The anniversary of Juan Gabriel's death is remembered this weekend, too, with a special event in Juárez.
