This event is free and open to the public.

Join us for “Merienda Talks: Holidays on the Border” with El Paso Museum of History Director Erica Marin. During this “Merienda Talk,” Erica will be discussing regional holiday traditions as well as her own family traditions in a short talk. Following this, the community will be invited to join and share their own holiday customs and stories with one another through conversation. In the spirit of coming together during the holidays, this “Merienda Talk” seeks to represent the many beliefs, heritages, and cultures present in the Borderland.

Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

“Merienda Talks” are a free ongoing series at the El Paso Museum of History that explore current exhibits through informal conversation with experts. In Mexico, “merienda” is a time to share conversation with friends over a bite to eat. In the spirit of merienda, our talks bring the public and professionals together to discover exhibits through discussion.
