Sol Summit Music & Cultura Festival is a two day celebration of music, art, and community, taking place May 2 and May 3, 2026, in the heart of downtown El Paso. Built with intention and rooted in the Borderlands, Sol Summit is an indie, bilingual festival that brings together global artists, national touring acts, and local voices in a lineup that reflects the cultural richness and creative energy of the region.
Sol Summit moves fluidly between genres, languages, and scenes, spotlighting the sounds, artists, and ideas shaping the moment both locally and globally. Alongside performances across multiple stages, the festival features local food vendors, art installations, and community focused programming.
