The iconic star on the Franklin Mountains will change color Tuesday in a special display celebrating another musical act coming to El Paso. Officials say the star will be lit orange to mark the arrival of Colombian superstar Karol G and her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour.
The El Paso Chamber and Live Nation are coordinating the lighting as part of the city’s welcome for the concert. Organizers intend the colorful tribute to signal the artist’s performance in the Sun City and to give fans a visible way to celebrate the stop on her tour.
Residents and visitors should be able to spot the orange glow from many parts of town after dusk. The Franklin Mountains star is a prominent landmark, so the change in color often serves as a simple but striking way to highlight major events happening in El Paso.
Karol G’s Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour — roughly translated as “Traveling Around the World Tropitour” — brings her music to cities across the globe and draws large crowds of fans. Lighting the star orange is one of several local gestures used to welcome touring artists.
Those planning to attend the concert or wanting to see the illuminated star are encouraged to share photos and celebrate responsibly. The color change provides a visible signal that El Paso is hosting a major entertainment event and offers a moment for the community to join in the excitement.
